A proposed overhaul of the U.S. Postal Service under a Trump administration plan has drawn sharp criticism for potentially delaying the delivery of mail-in ballots ahead of the November election. Critics warn the changes could create logistical disruptions just as states prepare to send ballots to registered voters, raising concerns about voter access and operational chaos. The timing of the plan—coming as millions of ballots are set to be mailed—has heightened fears over its impact on the integrity of the electoral process. Supporters argue the reforms are necessary to improve efficiency, but opponents insist the risks to timely voting outweigh any benefits.
Critics said the Trump plan for the U.S. Postal Service could disrupt states’ delivery of ballots to eligible voters as the Nov. 3 vote approaches and cause chaos, given imminent mailing of ballots.
