Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Congress today that the USPS will be able to process the nation's mail-in ballots in November.

"As we head into the election season, I want to assure this committee, and the American public, that the Postal Service is fully capable of delivering the nation's election mail securely and on time," DeJoy said.

DeJoy, who has been at the epicenter of controversy over cost-cutting changes to the Postal Service that led to concerns about the ability to handle mail-in ballots for the general election, testified Friday before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

The GOP donor and close ally of the President appeared before the Republican-led panel to answer questions about the mail agency's finances and operations during the coronavirus pandemic, which has exacerbated the Postal Service's fiscal woes, and the upcoming general election.

After he was confirmed as postmaster general in June he aproved a series of internal changes designed to save the struggling Postal Service money, scaling back overtime and prevent postal workers from making extra trips for late-arriving mail. Under his leadership of the agency, there have also been reports of blue mail collection boxes being removed and a reduction in large mail-sorting machines.
