Constitutional scholars agree that while no president has the power to delay an election, there are serious questions about the U.S. Postal Service’s ability to handle a surge in mail-in ballots.

According to the Wall Street Journal, warning signs are already flashing red thanks to the coronavirus, which has prompted a surge in voting by mail:

…to blandly say voting in a major election using the U.S. Postal Service is no problem. Paterson, N.J., recently disqualified 20% of its mailed ballots.

New York Democrats are immersed in bitter intra-party litigation over the June 23 12th Congressional district primary. At issue are the details of counting mail-in ballots. Incumbent Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s opponent, progressive Suraj Patel, has charged “voter suppression.” He and other Democratic plaintiffs have filed a federal lawsuit that the election’s mail-related problems could “disenfranchise a massive number of voters.”

The WSJ urges that local officials “…ensure deadlines for mail-in ballots are early enough so that the counting stops and the results are clear on Election Day.”

The Postal Service recently secured a $10 billion loan from the Treasury Department to help keep it from insolvency and says it currently has enough cash to continue operations into the first quarter of 2021.
