The USPS is a vital service that is critical for our daily lives. Millons of Americans receive their medications, pay taxes, and are sent paychecks through the mail. Given the current crisis, access to vote-by-mail is now more important than ever. Forcing people to vote in person is not only to inconvenient for seniors, people with disabilities, or rural citizens, but it also is now hazardous to public health.
Last week, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said that these measures would be suspended until after the election, but the work is not over. We need to make sure that the USPS has the resources necessary to serve America's needs and to ensure a fair election in November.
