"Postal workers have proudly facilitated mail-in voting since the Civil War. We also know that the increase of mail ballots expected can be easily handled, even if all 150 million voters in the country receive and return their ballot by mail." Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"Vote-by-mail has proven to be an incredibly safe and secure method of voting. More than five states conduct their elections entirely by mail. Since 2000, more than 250 million votes have been cast by mail. "
"In Oregon’s 19 years conducting all-mail elections, more than 100 million votes have been cast with only 15 cases of voter fraud, less than one per year." Mark Dimondstein
"Claims that vote-by-mail is rife with fraud are not only simply false, they’re also an offense to the postal workers who take our oath of office and our commitment to preserve the sanctity of the mail seriously."
Our union will hold the Postmaster General to his words. We, along with the other postal unions, will participate in a joint task force with management to ensure our members’ expertise is central to the Postal Service’s plans for ensuring that every ballot we receive is delivered
We will continue to press the Postal Service and Congress to ensure that the country receives the quality and speedy service it deserves and not just during this election season and not just for vitally important election mail.
"But with respect to mail-in-voting in particular, our message to the many millions of voters who will rely on the Postal Service this year to access the ballot box is simple: request your ballot early and return it quickly." #VoteByMail #SaveThePostOffice
