FILE - In this July 31, 2020, file photo, letter carriers load mail trucks for deliveries at a U.S. Postal Service facility in McLean, Va. A U.S. judge on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2020, blocked controversial Postal Service changes that have slowed mail nationwide. The judge called them "a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the Postal Service" before the November election.
Delivery of ballots in the USPS’ Detroit district, for example, has dipped as low as 57% over the past week, Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s office said Saturday.National on-time delivery has been at 93% or higher, said the statement from Ferguson, who leads a coalition of 14 states that filed a lawsuit on Aug. 18 over changes to the Postal Service.
Priority Mail Express is an overnight service that costs a minimum of $26.35 per envelope, according to the USPS.com website. U.S. Department of Justice attorney Joseph Borson sought to assure the judge at an earlier hearing that the Postal Service would handle election mail promptly.
blkvotesmatter But will LouisDeJoy obey a federal order or just redouble his efforts to sabotage the USPS?
when did the judges in the USA become a power unto them selves
rebeccagates This👇 Legal guardians fighting to get it fight this week.
rebeccagates People are paying for express shipment of ballots, both to them and back to their counties, because DeJoy's actions worked so well. And they're not happy about it. I do have to wonder if he's getting a cut from any of these shipments.
vegix Do we really expect DeJoy to do this? He hasn’t followed thru on anything so far. EVERYONE who has NOT yet voted, PLEASE vote in person if you can. We need EVERY VOTE to be cast and counted. Lines will be long but stick with it. YOU are our HEROES.
Thankfully not all federal judges are on the GOP payroll! & Stand up for democracy! 👏👏👏

Lee_in_Iowa Justice Alito reserves the right to nullify all votes that are not for Trump... he is joined by Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and of course Thomas.
HC_Richardson I would like DeJoy to be charged for Election Interference, shortly down the road.
the postal service is just like me, i aint what i used to be, i paid 34 dollars for them to deliver a package from co. to tex. and it took them more that ten days to do it, was there a camel involved here
RubyGonzales2 These poor postal workers get pushed so hard and get treated like crap. I know many postal workers not a good environment.
Should have been and should now be free overnight delivery.
If ballots get thrown out for being late then our president has succeeded in intentionally subverting democracy by fucking with the mail.
HC_Richardson The AG’s need to keep on top of this.
HC_Richardson Good ruling.
HC_Richardson Why just these two geographic areas?
Might wanta look into PA, too.
heartsnark Good man.
anon_sopv2 What are the consequences if they dont? Or is this more bullshvt?

CheriJacobus How about Miami Dade?
CheriJacobus and it will be ignored no doubt.
DeJoy will be one of the first arrests for Trump admin crimes.
Too late.
JonLemire Enter SCOTUS...stand back and STAND BY.
Aren’t republicans voting my mail as well?
JonLemire Love this judge ! Same guy who's holding the traitor Flynn's feet to the fire !
Good. ASAP
JonLemire
Do us all a favor and vote in person!
I mailed my ballot via USPS PRIORITY MAIL - on October 23rd and it’s STILL NOT DELIVERED!!!
It’s amazing that a judge can order a business on how it should operate... The USPS needs to tell the judge to go screw themself... and go about business as usual...

Well well well.. Trump was right again. 🙄There is a YUGE problem with mail-in ballots. But the left is so blinded by the opportunity it presents for voter fraud that they couldn't see the potential for problems.... Trump2020Landslide
Another judge steps up!
Barnes_Law 😂😂😂. The dems telling their voters for months that voting by mail was totally safe.
How f’d up is this country that this has to even be a thing.
Post Office sucks .... They can’t be Trusted
Lets see how long it takes for some Trump appointed Federal Judge to annul that order.
I order you to work faster.
Trump has already been impeached for tampering with this election. His republican supporters are slowing down the mail and destroying ballots to try and steal the election. Vote in person if possible.
It wont work. My Priority packages have been taking 3 to 4 weeks to arrive in certain cases lately. They're overworked, incompetent or both.
We know the usps won't comply with any court order. How many is this now. TrumpVirusDeathToll230K
If congress was able to pass the stimulus bill to fund the post office this wouldn't have been a problem. But alas, it is now.
Good.
Because Republicans can only win if they cheat. Shutting out voters by Americans is as Authoritarian as it gets. Trump supporters are “the poorly educated” and proud of it. Science will save us, not hubris.
I have serious doubts. Those idiots can’t even deliver mail to the correct residential addresses in general.
