The U.S. Postal Service said Monday nearly 100% of completed mail ballots were returned to election offices within a week for this year's presidential contest, despite hurricanes, some misdirected election mail and delivery concerns raised by state officials.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said postal workers processed more than 99 million general election ballots — making extra deliveries and collections and working to identify problems that could lead to incorrect deliveries. They also ensured ballots were delivered even after hurricanes brought devastation to parts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina just weeks before Election Day, he said.
