The Postmaster General said earlier this month that he was suspending some planned operational changes, making at least a partial retreat amid growing criticism that the Trump administration is undermining the U.S. Postal Service in a bid to hobble mail voting in the presidential election.

But that hasn’t solved pervasive mail delivery problems across the Philadelphia region. At least a dozen mail sorting machines have been removed from USPS processing centers across Southeastern Pennsylvania in the last two months, union leaders say — that damage has already been done.

This issue hasn't gone away. We need Congress, specifically the Senate, to act immediately.

Do you live in a rural area in Ohio? How often do you use the USPS? Are you going to vote via mail or go to your local precinct?

I do live in rural Ohio, I use the USPS often, and I will be voting in person.

Thank you for your response.

How has service been in your area? Is it slow? Just curious.

It's not terrible, but it's far from perfect. Over the years we've received countless pieces of mail that wasn't ours. Of course we just flip the little flag up on the mailbox, and leave it there, but does everyone? That's a major flaw in the system right there. Once we sent a package from the local post office, and it got locked in a loop of being shipped in a four state loop over and over for weeks, and there was nothing the post office could (or would) do about it.

I may be spoiled, but in person voting in my area is super easy. Almost never a wait.
