WASHINGTON, D.C.: The United States Postal Service (USPS) is popularly known for delivering mail despite snow, rain or heat, but it faces a new foe in President Donald Trump. On Saturday, Trump continued his assault on mail-in voting by telling reporters it would be a “catastrophe” and retweeting articles and comments alleging fraud. Trump said candidly in April that mail-in voting “doesn’t work out well for Republicans” and has repeatedly described such ballots as prone to fraud. States actAs concerns mount over the USPS’ ability to handle the expected surge in ballots, states are working to ensure their residents’ votes count. Pennsylvania this week asked its Supreme Court to push back its deadline for accepting mail-in ballots.
