FOR DEMOCRATS, PATH TO VOTE-BY-MAIL VICTORY RUNS THROUGH THE POSTAL SERVICE

“Progressives” are angling to build an illegal supermajority on the Postal Service governing board, destroying what’s left of election integrity—but only if Senate Republicans let them.

Restoration News was the first to report on the latest front in election integrity: The battle for control of the U.S. Postal Service. Now that conflict is heating up.

In May, the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) launched a new offensive to seize control of the USPS Board of Governors with the goal of transforming the $81 billion organization into the world’s biggest mail-in ballot collector. APWU protesters gathered outside the board’s quarterly meeting in Washington, D.C., to harangue Postmaster General Louis DeJoy—a Trump appointee—and demand Biden replace the DeJoy-friendly board with a “progressive” majority bent on firing him and expanding vote-by-mail.

Their agent of choice: Former Rep. Brenda Lawrence, the recently retired Democrat representing Detroit. Lawrence is a former postal worker and member of both APWU and the National Association of Letter Carriers. The other likely candidate is former Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who passed the $57 billion Postal Reform Act of 2022 (with DeJoy’s help), expanding mail delivery services and postal worker healthcare benefits.

Either woman would effectively serve as the postal unions’ representative on the board. Both support massively expanding USPS’ vote-by-mail capabilities, as do all ofBiden’s board nominees, notably Republican Derek Kan.
