"Save Our Post" Face Mask, 2020

Summary

Americans' reliance on mail and package delivery increased during the coronavirus pandemic. A rise was also expected in mail-in election ballots due to concerns about in-person voting safety. These factors brought attention to the role of the US Postal Service--and the Trump administration's attempts to reshape the agency as a business--in the 2020 election year.
