State and local election officials tell U.S. Postal Service that it hasn't fixed persistent deficiencies.

Officials say mailed ballots that were postmarked on time were received by local election offices days after the deadline to be counted.

They say properly addressed election mail was being returned to them as undeliverable, a problem that could send voters to inactive status through no fault of their own.

Kansas will count ballots postmarked on or before Election Day if they arrive within three days .

Republican -controlled Legislature created that grace period in 2017 over concerns that mail delivery had slowed.

Schwab has promoted the use of local ballot drop boxes for voting in advance, breaking with other Republicans who say they can be sources of fraud.
