"Rep. Gabe Vasquez calls on postal service to "go back to the old way of doing things."While some residents of rural New Mexico were surprised and aren't happy about the U.S. Postal Service's recent change in its "postmarking process," the USPS says that policy "remains unchanged."...they essentially changed the rules of how mail is postmarked," Vasquez said.

If people are trying to meet deadlines with tax returns or bills, it could result in late fees. "
