Officials Raise Alarm About Delivery Of Mailed Ballots

USA Today reports:

Election officials and lawmakers are worried that U.S Postal Service delays could prevent thousands of ballots from being counted this year, in what could be an extremely close presidential contest. Election officials, lawmakers and postal officials are urging voters to mail ballots at least seven days before Election Day to ensure they are delivered with enough time to be counted − despite more than a dozen states having rules that ballots can be mailed as late as Election Day and still be valid.

The National Association of Secretaries of State and the National Association of State Election Directors wrote a letter outlining their concerns about slow mail delivery to Louis DeJoy, the postmaster general, on Sept. 11. Members of the groups have met with DeJoy twice. State election officials complained about “exceptionally long delivery times” after multiple states reported each receiving between dozens and hundreds of ballots during the primaries that were 10 or more days after their postmarks.
