Postmaster General Luis DeJoy says the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is ready to handle the impending deluge of election mail, including mail-in ballots, ahead of Nov. 5.

“We’re going to be in great shape for the election. I’m pretty confident about everything that we’re doing. The American people should be confident,” DeJoy told The Associated Press on Aug. 29, ahead of a media briefing on the service’s election preparations.
