Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab is requesting answers from U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy after it was reported his agency mishandled legally cast primary election ballots.
Schwab is also asking for assurances that any issues will be rectified by November’s general election.
In a press release, Schwab is requesting three things from USPS – first, an explanation of the USPS’s policy for ensuring that every ballot is postmarked, second, how the USPS will ensure that every ballot is postmarked in the November general election and third, how the USPS will ensure that every ballot that has been placed into its custody prior to election day will be delivered on time to county election offices for the votes to be counted.
