Joe Manchin and union officials say the U.S. Postal Service is considering closing post offices across the country, sparking worries ahead the anticipated surge of mail-in ballots in the 2020 elections.

that will “LEAD TO THE END OF OUR GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY,” even though there’s no evidence that will happen. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and other top administration officials frequently vote absentee themselves. The hearing comes as the Postal Service is reeling from mail delays and financial problems, even as record numbers of mail ballots are expected in the presidential election because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Bills approved by the Democratic-controlled House would set aside $25 billion to keep the mail flowing, but they remain stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate. Congress has approved a $10 billion line of credit for the Postal Service, but it remains unused amid restrictions imposed by the Trump administration.

Democratic lawmakers have demanded answers from DeJoy following complaints from constituents about mail service delays and other problems.

Good! I was suppose to get mail in 8-10 days last month, and it took almost a whole freaking MONTH AND A HALF to get from Missouri to Oklahoma! Another from Amazon took almost 4 weeks, instead of the normal 7 days, from Texas to Oklahoma. Ridiculous!

It's about time! Took a small package from Kansas to Louisiana literally 15 days to get here. Another package with a gift card mailed in late May has never arrived.
