Election officials are raising concerns that problems with the country's mail delivery system could affect the upcoming election by potentially disenfranchising American voters.
In a recent letter to the head of the US Postal Service (USPS), state and local election officials detailed significant issues that could impact the voting process.
The letter, sent by the National Association of Secretaries of State and the National Association of State Election Directors to US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, highlighted instances over the past year where mailed ballots, even those properly postmarked, were received by election offices days after the deadline to count them.
