US Ballot Delay Warnings, Mailbox Removals Prompt Anger, Inquiry

VOA News

   The U.S. Postal Service on Friday warned all 50 states that it cannot
   guarantee every ballot cast by mail for the November election will
   arrive in time to be counted. Meanwhile, voters and lawmakers in
   several states are complaining about the removal of several curbside
   mailboxes.
   While the post office's letters raise the possibility that the
   mailed-in votes of many Americans will not be counted, that is not the
   intent, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said in his own letter to
   Democratic congressional leaders.
   The post office is merely "asking elected officials and voters to
   realistically consider how the mail works, and be mindful of our
   delivery standards, in order to provide voters ample time to cast
   ballots through the mail," wrote DeJoy.
