Chinanews.com, August 18, according to the US "World Journal" report, on the 17th local time, US President Trump said that if full mail voting is allowed, the United States "will never have a fair" presidential election. He also expressed support for a series of reform measures taken by the US Postal Service before the election.

With regard to voting by mail, Trump has recently spoken frequently. He claimed that if mail voting increased sharply in 2020, it would breed election fraud, but he failed to provide evidence. Reuters pointed out that in the general election four years ago, about a quarter of American voters used mail to vote.
Trump said that measures are currently being taken to solve the long-term "disaster" of the US Postal Service's finances, and that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Pelosi, is preparing urgent legislation to solve the US Postal Service's postal delays as a "scam."
On the 16th, Pelosi called on members of the House of Representatives to return to work early to legislate to prevent the United States Postal Service from carrying out operational reforms that may affect voting in the November general election.
According to previous reports, mail sorters and street mailboxes in many cities in the United States have been dismantled, and post office staff work and overtime have been shortened. The United States Postal Service warned 46 state governments last week that they might not be able to deliver ballots for the November presidential election as scheduled.
Democratic attorneys general in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Washington, and North Carolina are discussing legal measures such as prosecuting the Trump administration to prevent the Postal Service from implementing reforms that may affect the outcome of the election.
