The #USPS hasn't even tapped into their $10b loan from the bipartisan #CARESAct passed in March, but Speaker Pelosi is calling #Congress back to vote on an additional $25b? If the need for funds was immediate like Democrats say it is, why hasn't USPS used any of this $10b loan?

The #USPS is confident it can handle the increased volume of election mail that will make up a whole 2% of their mail volume from mid-September through election day. Despite Democrat conspiracy theories, there is no reason to believe that the USPS can't handle mail-in ballots. https://t.co/ZO0J9lLrqI

Joining Long and Hartzler in their opposition to the bill were fellow Missouri GOP representatives Jason Smith of the Eighth District and Blaine Luetkemeyer of the Third District.
Missouri's Congressional delegation split on the vote with two GOP members, Second District Congresswoman Ann Wagner and Sixth District Congressman Sam Graves joining the two Democrats, First District Congressman Lacy Clay and Fifth District Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, in voting for the measure.

Again these so-called representatives vote against insuring citizens have a "real" chance of having to isolate themselves against getting sick by using a secure system of voting by mail. The USPS has been hampered from operating with efficiencies because the republicans tasked them with funding retirement and healthcare for decades longer than necessary. It is a sad attempt to run the Post Office into the ground to sell it off to companies to make huge profits and raise our rates. You and your cohorts suck to the nth degree. Stay in Las Vegas where you can do no harm and suck up off the lobbyists dole. Sad excuse for what our constitution mandated be run by our government.
