USPS Acknowledges Incomplete Election Mail Data, Vows Timely Delivery
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has acknowledged incomplete data due to ballots bypassing normal processing for faster delivery. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has assured voters and officials that 'all necessary resources' are being made available to ensure timely delivery of election mail. USPS is employing 'extraordinary measures' to expedite mailed ballot delivery. This includes extra deliveries, expanded hours, and daily sweeps. In the week ending Oct. 25, USPS delivered 96% of election mail on time, a slight decrease from earlier in the month. In states without extended deadlines, voters were encouraged to send in their ballots a week before Election Day. In Georgia, for instance, only 87.6% of ballots were delivered on time, with an average delivery time of two days in the same week. USPS is fast-tracking ballot delivery in 18 states and Washington, D.C., until as late as Nov. 19. Postal employees have been directed to make 'every reasonable effort' to deliver ballots 'as quickly as possible' by the applicable deadline. While USPS acknowledges incomplete data due to ballots bypassing normal processing, it is committed to delivering election mail promptly. Special measures are being taken to ensure timely delivery, with Postmaster General Louis DeJoy promising to make 'all necessary resources' available. However, voters are still encouraged to send in their ballots well in advance to ensure they are counted.
