Representative James Comer testified in front of the House Rules Committee earlier this week. The Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Reform debunked reports about problems throughout the U.S. Postal Service and confirmed there have been no delays occurring throughout the service.

Denying reports of problems associated with the USPS, provoked strong criticism from Democrats. The chairwoman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Representative Carolyn Maloney deemed this as part of the problem, accusing Republicans of ignoring it rather than trying to address it.

The Postmaster General Louis DeJoy testified in front of Congress on Friday and admitted there is a drop in the level of service. He said they will deploy various processes and procedures that give priority to election mail, in some cases, it even advances of first-class mail.

"There's no intention to do that," DeJoy told Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich, adding that such processes and procedures are not needed. Moreover, he also said he will not reverse earlier orders that got rid of the sorting machines.

The USPS has come under fire after reports of delayed mail delivery surfaced. These delays were then linked to Donald Trump's remarks admitting that he wants to block USPS funding to ensure mail-in voting doesn't come to fruition, Fox News reported.

GOP lawmakers, on the other hand, have been trying to portray the recently surfaced reports of delayed mail, broken sorting machines, and removal of mailboxes as conspiracy theories. In a letter to  Nancy Pelosi, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy accused congressional Democrats of trying to spread baseless conspiracy theories about the service for political gain, under the leadership of the Speaker of the House.

McCarthy went on to say that these theories suggest that the USPS is removing mailboxes to ensure that the people can't vote by mail and that the USPS lacks funding and will be insolvent before the impending election. Aside from that, he said the unfounded theories also claim that the USPS' infrastructure isn't capable of delivering mail-in ballots to and from voters.

If the testimony by the Postmaster General Friday, McCarthy is anything to go by, Comer's accusations of a conspiracy for political gains seem inaccurate. The House of Representatives is slated to vote on the Delivering for America Act on Saturday in a bid to grant 25 billion in funding for the U.S. Postal Service and help it get through the election.
