Twitter on Sunday slapped a label on a tweet from President Donald Trump for "making misleading health claims that could potentially dissuade people from participation in voting." Trump claimed in posts on Twitter and Facebook early Sunday morning that mail drop boxes for voting "are not Covid sanitized," as well as a "voter security disaster."

President Donald Trump is pushing for law enforcement at polling places for safety reasons, not voter suppression, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Sunday. There won't be "thousands of sheriffs" at the polls on Nov. 3, Meadows said on "Fox News Sunday," but "if the judges at those polling places need any kind of security, we're going to make sure we have the resources to do that."

The House passed legislation on Saturday to infuse $25 billion into the Postal Service and block operational changes that Democrats fear could hobble mail-in voting in this November's election. In a rare Saturday session, the House passed the measure by a vote of 257 to 150, with 26 Republicans siding with Democrats to approve the bill. (Slotkin, 8/22)

The legislation also would block operational changes deployed by Trump’s postmaster general that have caused widespread mail delays and fueled an uproar across the country. The bill passed 257-150, with 26 Republicans breaking with Trump and GOP leaders to join every Democrat in backing the bill. "We will pass the bill and it will be in a bipartisan way, and then we will send it to the Senate," Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters Saturday before the vote. "They’ll be hearing from their constituents because this hits home." (Caygle and Ferris, 8/22)

The U.S. Postal Service said on Sunday that a bill passed by the Democratic-led House of Representatives would hamper its ability to “improve service to the American people” and assured it could handle mail-in ballots for the Nov. 3 presidential election. The House voted on Saturday to provide the cash-strapped Postal Service with $25 billion and block policy changes that have stirred concerns that it would botch the handling of an unprecedented surge in pandemic-driven mail-in balloting.
