Mail delivery standards in parts of the country remain well below levels prior to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's cost-cutting overhaul of the Postal Service in July, a new report from a Senate Democrat found Friday.

"It is unacceptable that on-time mail delivery has not been restored to levels prior to the Postmaster General carelessly instituting his disastrous operational changes," said Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Show the Biden scandal. Americans go to Fox news to see the corruption with Biden and his son, his brother and his sons partner. Sons partner spilled the beans and fake news hiding it. You wouldn't have voted for Biden if you saw this first. The guys a lying criminal

dejoys only job was to stop as many votes as he could. Maybe he should go to prison. Along with his boss trump. A high vote count will bury trump up to his wig. All of his trump changes will have to be removed.

It wasn't 'Cost-Cutting' ABC News, it was voter suppression. Please report accurately! Getting rid of machines that sort 35K letters an hour is NOT cost saving! That is why mail is sitting in piles all over...

ALL REPUBLICANS GO VOTE IN PERSON. ITS VERY SAFE. AND LET THE DEMOCRATS DEAL WITH THE LOST OR INCORRECT MAIL IN BALLOTS. AND WALLER IN THEIR OWN MESS.
