Abstract

The article examines the capability of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to manage the expected high number of mail-in ballots in the 2020 presidential election amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Also cited are the criticism by President Donald Trump of the postal service, the financial difficulties facing the service, as well as a brief history of the service, including its creation in 1775 when the Continental Congress ordered Benjamin Franklin to organize a postal system.
