Back in 1860, the Pony Express was a fast mail service that covered nearly 2,000 miles from Missouri to California. Its relay system of horses and riders cut the delivery time of mail and news from over 24 days to just 10 days!
In 2024, the US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy pledged the USPS will work “around the clock” and implement “extraordinary measures” to ensure that presidential election ballots are delivered in...7 days.
"DeJoy became postmaster general in June 2020 after being selected by the USPS Board of Governors, all of whom were appointed by Trump."
The National Association of Secretaries of State sent DeJoy a letter expressing “ongoing concerns” about the USPS' “ability to deliver election mail in a timely and accurate manner” this year.
Election officials said they’ve experienced “exceptionally long delivery times” for election mail, including ballots, which could lead to those ballots getting rejected because they didn’t arrive before the deadline. They also wrote that they’ve noticed “higher than usual rates” of election-related mail being marked as undeliverable.
Mail yer ballots EARLY y'all. Preferably, use a drop box if one is available.
