I applaud @AGWilliamTong for joining this multistate coalition filing a legal challenge over operational changes at the @USPS that threaten critical mail delivery ahead of the November election.

No one should be forced to choose between their health and their right to vote.

Leading with public health and the welfare of residents, I granted additional access to the ballot via executive order – access that depends on the hardworking members of our U.S. Postal Service. Not only will mail-in ballots help...

...to reduce and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 when CT residents cast their ballots, but countless others – veterans, seniors, businesses and single parents – are counting on medicine, child support payments, and the ability to facility commerce through the postal service.

This issue goes beyond democracy and hits at the root of fairness and equity.

Not everyone can make it to a municipal drop box to ensure their vote counts, but with the help of the postal service we can ensure every voter can has the ability to safely have their vote counted.

I join with @AGWilliamTong in calling on the president to undo these harmful and unnecessarily destructive policies to the U.S. Postal Service.
