Description
The postal service is older than America itself. It delivers
bills, Amazon packages and even ballots straight to your house. So what
happens when, in the middle of a pandemic that has skyrocketed the
demand for vote-by-mail, the USPS suddenly seems like it’s falling
apart? POLITICO Magazine digital editor Zack Stanton joins Scott Bland
to talk about the mail-system meltdown and what USPS expert Phil Rubio,
himself a former letter carrier, says about how fundamental the postal
service is to the 2020 election — and to our very idea of democracy.
Scott Bland is the host of Nerdcast and a politics editor at POLITICO.
Zack Stanton is digital editor at POLITICO magazine.
Annie Rees **** is a producer for POLITICO audio.
Jenny Ament is senior producer for POLITICO audio.
Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO audio.
