House Democrats will vote to block Postal Service changes



By Emily Singer -August 17, 2020 9:30 AM

The Trump administration's cutbacks to the U.S. Postal Service could impact the election, as millions more mail-in ballots are expected due to the pandemic.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday night announced she's calling the House back to Washington, D.C., this week to vote on a bill aiming to block the Trump administration's changes at the U.S. Postal Service.

Pelosi said the House will vote on the "Delivering for America Act," a bill by House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney that Pelosi said "prohibits the Postal Service from implementing any changes to operations or level of service it had in place on January 1, 2020."

Pelosi's announcement came as House Democrats railed against the administration's Postal Service changes, which are slowing down mail processing and could have an impact on the November election, when millions of ballots are expected to be sent through the system.

The Postal Service, currently led by Trump appointee Louis DeJoy, has sent letters to nearly every state in the nation warning that delays in processing mail could impact voters' ability to have their ballots counted.
