Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told a Senate committee that he was not sabotaging the U.S. Postal Service in order to disrupt the anticipated rise in mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic in November, but said he would not reverse any recent changes including the removal of mail sorting machines across the country.

I think the American public should be able to vote by mail and the Postal Service will support it, DeJoy told the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee on Friday, later adding that he is extremely, highly confident that mailed ballots sent seven days before the election will arrive on time to be counted.

President Donald Trump has attacked both the USPS and mail-in voting. He explicitly stated that he opposed increased funding for the post office to help it following a decline in income during the pandemic because it would help people vote-by-mail.

Now they need that money in order to make the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots, Trump said on Aug. 13. But if they dont get those two items, that means you cant have universal mail-in voting.

There has been no changes in any policies with regard to election mail with regard to the 2020 election, DeJoy said, denying doing anything on purpose to disrupt mail-in voting.
