Democrats plan Saturday vote to prop up Postal Service
By Mike Lillis - 08/17/20 12:05 PM EDT

House Democrats will call the chamber back to Washington to vote Saturday on legislation to block recently implemented cost-cutting measures at the U.S. Postal Service — and ensure the agency can handle a potential flood of mail-in ballots around November’s elections.

The move, announced by Democratic leaders on a call with their caucus Monday morning, comes days after the Postal Service warned states that it might not be able to deliver ballots to election offices in time to be counted.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told Democrats on the call that the legislation is still being finalized, but members have been told formally to expect to vote on it Saturday morning.


Separately, the House Oversight Committee has also asked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Robert Duncan, the chairman of the USPS Board of Governors, to testify at a hearing next Monday about recently implemented measures to cut overtime and remove mail-sorting machines.

There is a game afoot here...the question is, what?  And who has the initiative?  President Trump seems to have kicked this one off by suggesting the Post Office hasn't got the chops to field 10's of millions of ballots (and he's correct), so why?
