BILLINGS — Many around the country, including in Billings, came Saturday to protest any decrease in service of the U.S. Postal Service.
Protesters outside the downtown post office said they're concerned with the postal service dismantling machines and decreasing service and how that affects mail-in ballots for November's election.
The group Indivisible Yellowstone said it's skeptical about Post Master General Louis DeJoy's comments on handling elections.
"He said he would make sure that people would be able to vote by mail and be safe, and that was encouraging," said Katherine Jabs, Indivisible Yellowstone leader and organizer of the Billings protest. "But I'm not sure I trust him. I'm not afraid of fraud. I think there's very, very little fraud. It's not an issue that I worry about. The history of the postal service is the history of our democracy, period."
