Postmaster General To Testify Before House Oversight Committee

While controversy has been swirling around the post office, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to appear in front the House Oversight Committee about "operational and organizational changes he has been making to the Postal Service," Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) said.

Chairwoman Maloney said that she is "pleased" that DeJoy voluntarily agreed to testify in a statement released Monday, and she looks forward to "receiving his production of documents and other information" requested in a letter sent last week, co-signed by members of Congressional Democratic leadership, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

DeJoy's testimony will gain attention as the U.S. Postal Service is warning states it cannot guarantee that all ballots cast by mail for the Nov. 3 election will arrive in time to be counted, even if ballots are mailed by state deadlines- raising the possibility that millions of voters could be disenfranchised.

It's the latest chaotic and confusing development involving the agency, which has found itself in the middle of a high-stakes election year debate over who gets to vote in America, and how. Those questions are particularly potent in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, which has led many Americans to consider voting by mail instead of heading to in-person polling places.
