Mail Sorting Machines Will Not Be Reduced Before Election Day

The USPS has decided to delay the removal of postal boxes and sorting machines for 90 days due to public concerns, especially with the upcoming 2020 election. Criticism has been directed at the USPS for operational changes that could affect mail-in voting. President Trump and his administration have claimed, without evidence, that mail-in voting could lead to voter fraud. Postmaster General Louis Dejoy, a Trump ally, is accused of trying to undermine the Postal Service, though he claims the changes are for efficiency. The USPS states that equipment removal is a routine cost-saving measure, and an emergency oversight hearing is scheduled to address mail delays.
