Problems within the USPS could cause problems in the November elections

The U.S. Postal Service will play a big role in this upcoming election, but it may not be a good one, state and local election officials say. he suggested in a letter on Wednesday.

The letter from the National Association of Secretaries of State and the National Association of State Election Directors warned that problems with the postal service could lead to voters losing their right to vote in the upcoming election.

The letter is addressed to the head of the United States Postal Service, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, and warns that he has failed to address ongoing deficiencies in the system. Even as the primary elections were underway this summer, the letter states that local election officials across the U.S. had noticed a disturbing trend in the ability of postal services to deliver mail on time.
