There was ‘lack of preparation for election processes’ at regional Atlanta mail center ahead of primaries

PALMETTO, Ga. — A report from the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General found a “lack of preparation for election processes” earlier this year, ahead of the presidential primaries, at the Atlanta regional mail center that has been the source of delays and political outcry since it went into operation earlier this year.

The report sheds new light on how the Atlanta Regional Processing and Distribution Center in Palmetto struggled with election mail earlier this year — including a finding that the day before March 12 this year, trucks were waiting 20 hours at the facility.

The report also included a seemingly frank admission from Atlanta management: “At the Atlanta RPDC, management stated the Election and Political Mail processes were not properly prioritized.”
