What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Following Donald Trump’s attacks on vote-by-mail in Oregon, the state's secretary of state and 36 county clerks conducted an experiment in August. They sent and tracked 108 pieces of mail to measure how long the U.S. Postal Service takes to postmark and deliver regular mail to county elections offices. The results showed that while all mail would have been postmarked in time, there were wide timing discrepancies in eastern and rural Oregon due to Postal Service budget cuts, including the loss of night pickup at many rural post offices.
