REP. MCCLELLAN LEADS CALL FOR USPS TO ADDRESS ELECTION MAIL DELIVERY ISSUES

WASHINGTON D.C. (WAVY) — Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan is leading the charge
in calling on the United States Post Office (USPS) to guarantee efficient and
secure delivery of election mail.

This comes after reports of local election officials advising voters not to mail
in their ballots.



“It is paramount that voters have confidence in USPS to safeguard one of the
country’s most fundamental democratic principles. Therefore, we have
consistently urged USPS to be more forthcoming and transparent about the steps
it is taking to guarantee the timely delivery of mail and packages,” wrote the
lawmakers. “Just as we have in the past, we again implore USPS to provide clear
guidance and updates to voters regarding the agency’s
plan to handle election mail, thereby assuring voters that they can rely
on USPS to deliver their ballots securely and punctually.” 

In March, the USPS Office of the Inspector (OIG) General released an audit
report that outlined major issues at the Richmond Regional Processing and
Distribution Center (RPDC).

Earlier this month, Rep. McClellan and members of the Virginia delegation issued
a statement on the USPS OIG’s report.



“It couldn’t be clearer that USPS has not been providing reliable service to
Virginians, and we’ve been pressing for answers. This report pinpoints a number
of issues, including a lack of coordination between USPS and staff at the
Richmond Regional Processing and Distribution Center (RPDC).”

During the last general election, over two million Virginians voted with
absentee ballots.
