in president trump has sat, as you mentioned, has been sitting on additional funding for the us postal serviceeves mail in voting causes massive fraud, even though there's no evidence to suggest that is actually the case. well, now the postal service sent letters to 46 different states, warning that because deadlines are tight there, votes from their states may not be counted and thus potentially disenfranchising millions of americans and of course, the democrats are up in arms about this. all of this is an assault on democracy. in the situation is different according to which state you're talking about, isn't it? in some states actually have had all mail in voting or postal voting for many years. some of the california, where in speaking to you from have opted for that system because of the coronavirus pandemic and there is some concern that workers and polling stations tend to be elderly and therefore, they are more likely to co ntra ct and therefore, they are more likely to contract the coronavirus if a lot of people do turn out in person to vote. so, you have quite a controversy here in th

postal service, including the $3.5 billion? it is not what i want, it is what the american people want. here's our north america correspondent david willis. the us service at best, it is $160 billion in debt, and of course postal voting is expected to be conducted in unprecedented numbers this year because of concerns over the coronavirus. now president trump doesn't like that notion at all, he has warned that increased mail—in balloting will lead to massive election fraud, though he has yet to produce any evidence to support that claim. but he has also conceded that the use of postal ballots writ large tends to lead to larger turnouts, which tends to favour the opposition democrats, so he is blocking additionalfunding, billions of dollars of additionalfunding to the postal service. today the washington post reported that the postal service chiefs wrote to about 46 different states warning that their deadlines are too tight, and that millions of people could potentially be disenfranchised, and votes will not count because they will not be received or delivered early enough. democrats, as you can imagine, are up in arms over this, they have said

the last few days we have seen a focus on the us postal service but there's been a reversal of plans ostmaster general. just talk us through the significance of that. well, of course, because america is still in the grip of the coronavirus pandemic and the election is in november, it'sjust a little over 70 days away. so, there are nine states in america plus washington, dc where there will be universal voting by mail on offer. so that obviously will put a big strain on the us postal service plus there will be a lot of states where people will be requesting absentee ballots because they are going to not want to vote in person. so, all of this means the postal service will be under pressure. separately, the us postmaster general who is a trump appointee and a republican mega donor, he started injune but he suggested all these changes to the post office including closing down some of the sorting machines reducing retail hours, all of which democrats, said, was president trump using his crony to try and undermine the right of americans to vote by mail. so, there was a huge uproar and toda

using postal votes. but there have been questions over whether the us postal service — or usps — could cope with the increaseds has said that some states have reported election mail volumes which are ten times higher than any previous year. it has now advised several states that they may need to expand their voting by mail deadlines to allow the system to cope. the issue has been put in the spotlight for two reasons. firstly, the postal service has been struggling financially, which some people blame on changes to regulations dating back several years. and secondly, president trump has raised concerns about the possibility of electoral fraud through postal voting. he was asked about whether he would give the usps extra funding at a news conference a few hours ago — here's how that exchange went. if the democrats were to give you some of what you want, what you said in a series of tweets in the last hour, would you be willing to accept the $25 billion proposal for the postal service, including the three and a half billion. it is not what i want, it is what the american people want. here's our north america edi

the postal service, olderamericans introduced to the postal service, older americans have been complaining that they haven't been receiving their prescription refunds on time, because the way the ushca re system because the way the us healthcare system works, you have two pay upfront for your drug and then get the money refunded from your insurance company, and that cheque arrived by the mail, the republicans have been getting it in the airfrom their constituents, not just democrats, when people haven't been receiving these refunds on time so it turns out the us postal service is a sacred cow and you do not want to mess with it. the postmaster general, i think is set a major trump donor, due to appear before congress for questioning on friday and on monday stopping those are going to be lively sessions? they certainly will be. michelle 0bama spoke to this issue of how important it is for everyone to vote in this election. it has become so fraught because the president says that male and voting as a source of fraud. 0f says that male and voting as a source of fraud. of course this isn't necessarily true but president trump seems to be obsessed with the idea that male and voting wi

postal ballots are seen by many as crucial in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, but the us postal services warning there could be delays with an unprecedented amount of people opting to mail in their vote. president trump has been vocal in his criticism of postal voting, saying without evidence, that it leaves the election open to fraud. he's now blocked extra funding that was being sought to help the post service with the expected surge in demand. our north america editor, jon sopel has more. they never thought the united states postal service would find itself at the centre of this kind of controversy. unprecedented numbers look like they're going to vote by mail. donald trump repeatedly has asserted that mail in ballots or postal votes will lead to fraud and chaos, but none of the recent surveys of postal voting back that up. so what people suspect is that donald trump is worried that making voting easier will lead to an increased turnout, increased turnout will favour the democrats. so, he is saying that in terms, i am going to starve funding so postal votes become impossible. that ha
