Rural Mail Ballot Rejections Surge as USPS Slows Service

Original: Ballot Rejections Have Soared in Rural Counties as USPS Reduces Mail Service

A ProPublica investigation finds that mail ballot rejections have risen sharply in rural counties, coinciding with recent cuts and delays by the US Postal Service. The reporting links slower mail delivery to missed postmark and arrival deadlines for absentee ballots, leaving voters in rural areas disproportionately likely to have their ballots thrown out compared with those in cities and suburbs.

Why now: Voting access concerns and USPS service changes are drawing attention ahead of elections.
