US Postal Service Makes Announcement on Mail-In Ballots Ahead of Midterm Elections

The USPS has created a division that will oversee mail-in ballots in future elections

  • Adrienne Marshall, executive director of the newly created Election and Government Mail Services, said that it will oversee "election mail strike teams" in local communities to deal with possible problems.
  • The USPS claimed it delivered 97.9% of ballots from voters to election officials within three days, and 99.89% within seven days during the 2020 election.

Reliability and Fraud

  • Numerous lawsuits were filed in the wake of the 2020 election over the ballots, drop boxes, and related policies, while some GOP-controlled legislatures have tightened rules around absentee voting since then.
  • In 2005, former President Jimmy Carter and former White House chief of staff James Baker released a report (pdf) that found mail-in and "absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud" while adding that vote-buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.
