House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that voters should submit their ballots in-person and not by mail in an apparent reversal of the Democrats’ vote-by-mail initiative.

“I hope that people will not depend on the mail because they have done all they can to dismantle the postal system,” Pelosi told a news conference Thursday, without elaborating. “I salute our postal workers and letter carriers and those who are making the best of the situation, but even the Postal Service is saying it’s too late now to mail a first-class piece of mail.”
