Postal Service Row Raises Doubts About Mail-In Voting

Katherine Gypson

   WASHINGTON - With many Americans concerned about casting their ballot
   in public places during the coronavirus pandemic, mail-in voting is
   expected to surge dramatically in coming weeks in the runup to the Nov.
   3 general election.

   Congressional Democrats, however, say recent changes at the United
   States Postal Service (USPS) could prevent those mail-in ballots from
   being counted in time and suspect a deliberate attempt to suppress
   votes. Here's a look at how the U.S. Congress is reacting to a
   controversy that has taken center stage in the national political
   discussion in recent weeks:

   Why is the U.S. House of Representatives holding an emergency vote for
   the postal service?

   Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called a rare emergency session
   of the chamber for this Saturday, bringing members back from an August
   break in their home districts.
