Election Anxieties and the U.S. Postal Service with Kevin Kosar and Anne Joseph OConnell
b'
On August 13, President Trump said in a news interview that he opposed supplemental funding for the United States Postal Service because such funding is needed for the delivery of universal mail-in ballots for the 2020 election. His comments sparked panic about whether the Trump administration is slowing Postal Service delivery in order to sway the election. Images of blue mailboxes being removed and anecdotes about slow mail delivery added fuel to the fire. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was called to testify before Senate and House oversight committees. Lawsuits were filed by a host of state Attorneys General.
So what\\u2019s really going on here? Is this election interference, the implementation of legitimate policies or something else? Margaret Taylor sat down with Kevin Kosar of the American Enterprise Institute and Anne Joseph O\\u2019Connell of Stanford Law School to sort through the facts, the policy changes, the investigations and the lawsuits\\u2014and what it all means for the 2020 election.
