Democrats call for hearing with postmaster general about 'dangerous' changes to USPS ahead of election By William Cummings, USA TODAY
Congressional Democratic leaders on Sunday called on the postmaster general and the head of the Postal Service Board of Governors to testify in a hearing about "dangerous operational changes" they say could threaten the integrity of the November election, which is expected to see a high volume of mailed-in ballots because of the coronavirus pandemic.
In a joint statement, Democrats called on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Chairman of the USPS Board of Governors Robert Duncan to "testify before Congress about recent, sweeping and dangerous operational changes at the Postal Service that are slowing the mail and jeopardizing the integrity of the election."
DeJoy was scheduled to testify before a House panel on Sept. 17, but House Oversight and Reform Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney said his testimony was "particularly urgent given the troubling influx of reports of widespread delays at postal facilities across the country" and the new hearing is scheduled for Aug. 24.
