President Trump’s furious objection to mail-in balloting and a new Trump-allied postmaster general are raising fears about the election and the Postal Service.
As Democrats prepare for the national convention to start on Monday, Trump spent much of Saturday on the attack against what he called “the mail-in scam,” making charges without evidence that efforts by states to help people vote by mail during the coronavirus crisis would lead to widespread voter fraud — a claim that even some Republicans dispute.
Pressure continues to grow on the postmaster, Louis DeJoy, a Republican megadonor and an ally of the president’s, who has said he is modernizing the money-losing agency to make it more efficient. Among his moves have been cuts to overtime for postal workers, restrictions on transportation and the removal of mail-sorting machines, slowing the delivery of mail and endangering vote-by-mail operations. In some places, post offices are being told to open later and close during lunch.
“I have some customers banging on my people’s doors: ‘Open up!’” said Nick Casselli, the president of a Philadelphia postal workers union. “I’ve never seen that in my whole 35-year postal career.”
Protesters in Washington called for DeJoy’s resignation on Saturday, saying changes under his purview have undercut the Postal Service and threatened the ability of Americans to vote by mail.
