Trump’s Plan to Control U.S. Postal Service Raises Concerns
Former President Donald Trump's proposed plan to exert more control over the United States Postal Service (USPS) has sparked significant concern among political analysts and the public. According to reports from NPR, Democracy Docket, The Atlantic, and UNG Vanguard, the Commerce Department might soon oversee the USPS, a move seen by many as an attempt to influence mail-in voting and other postal services.
Trump's interest in the USPS intensified during his presidency, particularly with the appointment of Louis DeJoy as Postmaster General. Critics argue that changes implemented by DeJoy, including the removal of mail sorting machines and changes to mail processing, could hinder the postal service's efficiency, especially during elections.
The potential shift of the USPS under the Commerce Department's control is viewed as a strategic move to further political agendas, with fears that it could compromise the integrity of mail-in ballots. Experts from Democracy Docket have highlighted the risks associated with such an executive order, suggesting it could pose a direct threat to democratic processes.
As debates continue, the future of the USPS remains uncertain, with many calling for transparency and measures to protect the postal service's independence and efficiency.
