the Us Congress terminates August vacation and return Congress to the eve of the presidential election to vote on the bill on the Postal service of the United States. This is stated in the letter from the speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi.
In her message she urged lawmakers to return to session this week to vote on the law prohibiting the Postal service to make any changes in their operations or service levels, which were applied as of January 1, 2020, writes TASS.
Pelosi also accused the President of the United States Donald trump in “sabotaging the elections by affecting the Postal service”. According to her, was involved and the chief postmaster Louis Dejoy, which introduces new operational changes, delaying mail delivery.
earlier, the General counsel of the Post office, Thomas Marshall had warned the authorities that in case of remote voting possible delays due to mass sending ballots by mail. Marshall believes that state governments should urge citizens to send ballots at least 15 days before the election, but not for a few days, as the law allows.
the US President Donald trump has repeatedly criticized the vote by mail. In his opinion, this form of expression may give an advantage to the Democrats in the presidential election that will take place on the third of November this year. In addition, says the owner of the White house, this procedure is opaque and processing of ballots would take a long time.
