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

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) confirmed it 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 โ€œelection mail strike teamsโ€ in local communities to deal with possible problems.

โ€œWe are fully committed to the secure and timely delivery of the nationโ€™s election mail,โ€ she told media outlets on July 27.

Several months ago, the Biden administration requested $5 billion to support the USPSโ€™s mail-in voting operations over the next 10 years.

โ€œThis proposal expands on the essential public services that the Postal Service provides to the American people and will also help to relieve budget strain on local election offices across the country,โ€ the administration wrote in March.

It also includes policies to make โ€œofficial ballot materials free to mail and reducing the cost of other election-related mail for jurisdictions and votersโ€ while โ€œenhancing the Postal Serviceโ€™s ability to securely and expeditiously deliver and receive mail in underserved areas,โ€ the White House said at the time.

The USPS  claimed it delivered 97.9 percent of ballots from voters to election officials within three days, and 99.89 percent of ballots were delivered within seven days, during the 2020 election.

The Postal Service is sending guidance letters to election officials in each state and territory this week. So far, nearly 40 million ballots have been mailed to and from voters during primary elections.

Reliability and Fraud

Formerย President Donald Trumpย and some Republicans have said that mail-in ballots invite fraud and are unreliable. 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 Democrat President Jimmy Carter and former White House chief of staff James Bakerย releasedย a report (pdf) that found mail-in and โ€œabsentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraudโ€ while adding that โ€œvote-buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.โ€
