Democrats accuse USPS chief Louis DeJoy of slashing postal voting. Unlike his predecessors, DeJoy has no background in the Post Office, but is a businessman and donor to Donald Trump's election campaigns.

Demonstrations have taken place in several American cities in support of a strengthened postal service.
