Democrats say Postal Service delays 'far worse than previously acknowledged'
By J. Edward Moreno - 08/22/20 02:38 PM EDT
House Democrats on the Oversight and Reform Committee released documents Saturday showing that Postal Service delays they say are “far worse than previously acknowledged.â€
The assessment from the lawmakers comes a day after Postmaster General Louis DeJoy testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, where he apologized for a “dip†in service but assured the panel that the "nation’s election mail" would be delivered "fully and on time.â€
Democrats in both chambers of Congress have been been concerned about the operational changes that DeJoy announced earlier this summer that included a shuffling of personnel, a curtailing of over time and a removal of mail-sorting machines, among other things. They say that the changes will cause significant delays, imperiling mail-in voting ahead of the November election.
