Crowds in New York City celebrating Joe Biden’s projected victory in the presidential election Saturday also cheered for unexpected passersby: postal service workers. Throughout the campaign, President Donald Trump had sought to undermine confidence in mail-in voting both in policy—by attempting to withhold funding from the USPS—and in speeches—by repeatedly claiming that widespread fraud plagued mail-in voting, showing no proof. Despite Trump’s moves against the USPS, Americans voted by mail in unprecedented numbers in the presidential election.
