Postal Slowdowns Hit Key Swing States

Washington Post: “Over the past five days, the on-time rate for ballots in 17 postal districts representing 10 battleground states and 151 electoral votes was 89.1 percent — 5.9 percentage points lower than the national average. By that measure, more than 1 in 10 ballots are arriving outside the Postal Service’s one-to-three-day delivery window for first-class mail.”

“Those delays loom large over the election: 28 states will not accept ballots that arrive after Election Day, even if they are postmarked before.”
