WASHINGTON — Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, issued his latest criticism of mail-in voting this week, this time suggesting that the political endorsements of postal workers’ unions create a “cozy arrangement” that could result in mass election fraud.
In a thread posted to X on Monday, Lee argued it is highly questionable that the United States Postal Service could be trusted to administer mail-in ballots when related unions such as the National Association of Letter Carriers or the American Postal Workers Union throw their support behind a presidential candidate. Such endorsements, Lee argues, create conflicts of interest that put the entire mail-in voting system at risk.
“This creates at least a potential conflict of interest, given that USPS handles tens of millions of mail-in ballots with each election — 99.22 million in 2024 alone,” Lee wrote in a post. “If a union backs one candidate, could that influence ballot handling?”
Sen. Mike Lee how dare you accuse USPS of such underhanded actions. Unlike Congress and the Senate who are the ones who should be questioned with their actions concerning government policies and under handed actions to line their own pockets. The USPS is not affiliated with the government they remain true to the people and democracy. So go fling your dirty accusations at your own people.
Sen. Mike Lee is correct. The postal unions have been attacking Trump from day one, even though many Postal workers and contractors support him. The Postal unions should be abolished if they insist on playing politics. The Postal Service would be doing much better if it supported the president rather thah constantly attacking him through the unions.
