Postmaster General Louis DeJoy Evades Responsibility For Major Post Office Delays, Refuses to Reverse Changes

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told a Senate committee that he was not sabotaging the U.S. “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. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told the Senate Homeland Security & Government Affairs Committee that he was not sabotaging the mail to harm vote-by-mail on Aug. 21. The American people, and their representatives in Congress, however, have “pretty good reasons” to be suspicious of DeJoy and his changes to the USPS, Sen. Mitt Romney admitted during the hearing, even if there is no nefarious intent on his part, as “the president has made repeated claims that mail-in voting will be fraudulent.” Both Democrats and Republicans questioning DeJoy endorsed mail-in voting ― which Trump opposes ― and made sure to get DeJoy to say he is not trying to impair it. Sen. Ron Johnson, the committee chairman, however, disagreed with Romney, and committee Democrats, and claimed postal disruptions were simply part of a “false narrative designed to extract a political advantage” and complaints from the public “are highly scripted.” He added that DeJoy “should be commended” and “not condemned.” DeJoy claimed ignorance at the committee hearing on Friday, asserting that he learned about the removal of mail sorting machines and blue postal mailboxes when the public did.
