As mail disruptions are reported across the United States, the chairman of the U.S Postal Regulatory Commission referred to the mail service as “subpar” and “declining” in testimony on Tuesday. He said it should raise concerns over mail-in ballots for the November election.

“The disappointing service performance should raise concerns now, as elections are scheduled for this Fall and mail ballots could play an important role,” said Michael Kubayanda, chairman of the U.S. Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), said in testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
