U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is calling on the U.S. Postal Service Inspector General to investigate the months-long mail delivery problems in Georgia.

On Tuesday, Ossoff joined Fulton County Clerk of Courts Ché Alexander on the steps of Fulton County Superior Court, where they stood next to several bins they said were full of returned mail.

Alexander said that earlier this month, she received more than 1,100 pieces of mail that the U.S. Postal Service had marked as “returned to sender,” including some originally postmarked years ago.
