NALC President Brian L. Renfroe expressed concerns about an Executive Order (EO) signed by President Donald Trump, which the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) believes threatens the democratic process. Renfroe highlighted that the order could hamper voter access to the ballot box.
Renfroe emphasized, “This Executive Order is stacked with blatant lies to undermine the nation’s free and fair election process by placing restrictions on voter access to the ballot box.”
He pointed out that inclusive voter participation strengthens the nation, irrespective of whether ballots are cast early, in person on Election Day, or through mail-in votes. Stressing the reliability of mail carriers, Renfroe noted, “Letter carriers take pride in our work and have safely, securely and successfully delivered ballots since the Civil War.” In 2024, nearly 99.22 million ballots were delivered by mail carriers, which included votes for President Trump. During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a record-setting 135 million ballots were delivered by mail.
The NALC condemns the EO, which Renfroe claims is a “clear attack on voting rights that slams the safety and security of voting by mail,” despite its stated intention of “preserving” and “protecting” elections.
Renfroe vowed robust resistance to any efforts that could hinder Americans’ access to voting, “We will fight like hell to protect this right for the millions of Americans who rely on us.”
