Exclusive – ‘Unacceptable’: GOP Rep. Mark Alford Blasts USPS for Failing to Deliver Overseas Ballots to Service MembersBradley Jaye 28 Oct 2024
Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) is demanding answers after a constituent service member stationed abroad reported that the United States Postal Service (USPS) failed to deliver his ballot in a timely manner.
Alford sent a letter to U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy with “deep concerns” that service members stationed abroad are being “disenfranchised” by the USPS failing to deliver ballots on time.
“Election integrity is a key pillar in our democracy, and any actions that undermine free and fair elections are completely unacceptable,” his letter, obtained by Breitbart News, reads.
Alford asked DeJoy for information on specific strategies the USPS is implementing to assist service members abroad in voting as well as measures being taken to ensure that military members’ ballots are processed in a timely manner.
“The right to vote is a fundamental right for all Americans, enshrined in the United States Constitution,” Alford continues. “It is deeply concerning that members of our Armed Services stationed abroad could potentially be denied this right due to USPS errors.”
His letter says USPS’s failure to meet the congressionally mandated six-day delivery window “poses a significant disservice to any Service Member whose vote is not counted. The current situation is unacceptable and the USPS’s inability to fulfill their duty is worrying.”
