The U.S. Postal Service is warning that, even if state mailing deadlines are met, it cannot guarantee that all ballots cast by mail for the Nov. 3 general election will arrive in time to be counted, according to a story from the Associated Press.

This warning raises the concern that millions of voters could be disenfranchised. This worry is complicated by the limitations of voting during the COVID-19 pandemic, which have led more people to vote by mail instead of using in-person polling locations.
