Postmaster says ballots No. 1 priority, but details no plan

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing public backlash, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is testifying to a Senate panel that it’s his “sacred duty” to ensure election mail delivery. But he told senators he can not yet provide a specific plan to do so. The committee is digging into service changes he made ahead of the November election, just as millions of Americans are expected to vote by mail. Democrats warn DeJoy’s cost-cutting initiatives are causing an upheaval that threatens voting. DeJoy said he has no plans to restore cut mailboxes or mail sorting machines.
