CORRECT THE RECORD | Democrats Spread Baseless Conspiracies About the Postal Service: While Democrats try to spin the Postal Service’s problems into a new conspiracy theory, USPS has had financial troubles for years.

The Postal Service’s pricing and business model has not kept up with costs and changing circumstances. The Postal Service’s financial difficulties is nothing new – the Postal Service has faced over $78 billion in losses since 2007.

Even the Obama Administration suggested cuts to USPS services multiple times in an effort to address the organization’s troubles. Obama’s 2013 budget would have ended Saturday mail service and forced the Postal Service to raise postage prices.

In 2014, the Administration again called to end Saturday service, while adding further service cuts and delaying prepayments for future retiree healthcare. Around 14,000 mailboxes were removed during the Obama Administration.

Democrats and the radical left are spreading conspiracy theories about the Postal Service that have no basis in reality. The left has spread misinformation about the Postal Service and the election.

Recently, the unhinged left spread images on social media of a few mailboxes that were locked as evidence of some conspiracy. The truth is the Postal Service has already notified states of actions they need to take in advance of the election to ensure timely delivery of ballots.
