Postal Service in Election Crosshairs | Richmond News

The U.S. Postal Service is suddenly at the center of the midterm election storm, as President Trump pushes for tighter control over mail-in voting—raising alarms about ballot delays. Despite the Postal Service’s assurances that it’s committed to secure, efficient mail voting, new proposals to create a federal voter list have sparked lawsuits and court battles, with one case headed to the Supreme Court. Postal worker unions are rallying to defend vote-by-mail, arguing it’s reliable and shouldn’t be turned into an election administration tool. With nearly 30% of voters already using mail ballots in 2024, some states are urging voters to hand-deliver ballots instead, while the Postal Service insists its systems are running smoothly—though it still recommends mailing ballots at least a week before deadlines.
