Misdirected Ballots Raise Concerns Over USPS Election Mail Handling

Election offices across multiple states report receiving ballots intended for other locations, highlighting ongoing postal service challenges.

Election officials in several states, including Montana, California, and Louisiana, reported receiving ballots meant for voters in other states.
Concerns about the U.S. Postal Service's ability to manage the volume of election mail were raised prior to the November 5 presidential election.
Issues with misdirected ballots were not isolated incidents, with some ballots arriving too late to be counted, potentially disenfranchising voters.
The U.S. Postal Service stated its commitment to timely election mail delivery, though local officials expressed frustration over recurring inconsistencies.
State election officials had previously warned of potential mail delivery problems, emphasizing the need for improved USPS accountability.
