Top 5 Misconceptions About USPS

1.President Trump Appointed Postmaster De Joy (“the PMG”).
Reality: The PMG is appointed by the Postal Service Board of Governors

2. President Trump Controls the USPS.
Reality: The USPS is an independent agency, NOT controlled by the President
3. The USPS will be bankrupt before the election.
Reality: The USPS is projected to be solvent until at least August 2021 even without borrowing the $10B from Treasury as contemplated in the CARES Act.
4. The USPS can’t handle the volume of election mail without more money from Congress.
Reality: In 2019, USPS handled an average of 471 million pieces of mail each day. The total possible volume of requested and mailed in ballots (316 million) would not exceed a typical USPS day
5. The Dem’s bill is necessary to save the USPS & prevent Trump from stealing the election.
Reality: The Dem’s USPS Conspiracy Theory Act is a giveaway to trial lawyers and unions. It creates a private right of action for any individual or entity to sue if they suspect a...
violation of the bill. This could cost the USPS and tie them up in frivolous lawsuits.
