House Democrats cast doubt about Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's announcement Tuesday that he's delaying postal changes until after the election and will press forward with a vote Saturday to outlaw disruptions to mail service. "Well, we're going to make sure in law that that is the case," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday of DeJoy's reversal on operational changes. "To avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail, I am suspending these initiatives until after the election is concluded," DeJoy said in a statement. Democrats have also called a hearing for Monday at the House Oversight Committee to hear from DeJoy and Chairman of the USPS Board of Governors Robert Duncan to discuss the mail service changes during the coronavirus pandemic. DeJoy's statement Tuesday came shortly after 14 state attorneys general announced a federal lawsuit challenging the changes at USPS, alleging the changes could undermine the 2020 election.
