Delivery of nearly 80,000 letters delayed in southern Maine amid policy change
Tens of thousands of pieces of mail were delayed in getting to Mainers in more than a dozen towns Monday amid a policy shift within the U.S. Postal Service.
The Portland Press Herald reports that as much as 80,400 letters and other pieces of mail were left behind at the Postal Service’s Scarborough distribution center on Monday because a new policy prohibits any late trips.

POSTAL SERVICE WARNS MAINE AND 45 OTHER STATES SOME BALLOTS MIGHT NOT BE COUNTED
The general counsel and executive vice president of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Thomas J. Marshall sent a letter to Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap warning him that some ballots may not be counted in the upcoming General Election.
The letter, dated July 29, explains Maine’s election laws concerning deadlines for requesting and casting mail-in ballots are “incongruous with the Postal Service’s delivery standards.” Marshall says this “mismatch” creates a risk that ballots requested near the state deadline will not be returned by mail in time to be counted under Maine laws as the USPS understands them.
