For the second time in a week, a federal judge said a nationwide order is necessary to ensure mail for November’s election is delivered on time, and he is threatening to demand weekly updates on efforts by the U.S. Postal Service to process election mail.

Like Bastian, Marrero said the agency’s workers must treat election mail as First Class Mail.

He said Trump, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and the Postal Service"have not provided trusted assurance and comfort that citizens will be able to cast ballots with full confidence that their votes would be timely collected and counted." Marrero cited"a stunning lack of uniformity and a high level of confusion at various points in the USPS hierarchy regarding the standards to be followed by USPS employees on the ground."

If they don’t stay on top of this now, there will be no recourse after a stolen election. Trump will just pardon everyone involved.

MediaBuzzFNC Haven't heard of any current abnormal delays in mail and explanation of why there is some indication of why the Post Office would delay the mail unless there is a real concern of the partisan commentary of postal unions and some effort to prevent an honest election

Vote in Person like HillaryClinton AOC are doing!!!! no Universal mail-in-ballots that's un-American absentee =YES universal = NO

If you can go to the polls GO! Don't let Trump use MailInVoting as an excuse to delay results. Rain Sleet Hail or Snow go to the polls and Vote Vote BidenHarris2020

HOW?

apexnerd This seems like a big deal!

Cane303 So we can go to Walmart by the 100s but we can't go to a polling station. 🙄. I would bet this turns into the biggest cluster ever and trump wins by a landslide with the lowest democratic turnout ever because of millions of people's ballots not being counted.

rolandsmartin Nobody gives a hoot what he 'demands.' He doesn't run the Post Office, he doesn't run the elections.

do i have to read the article to understand why there is a picture of the Great Wall here?

Noiiiice!!

Correction: Marxist federal judge.

Why hasn’t DeJoy been fired yet? We need answers.

Mail has already started getting jacked up. Payments are not getting delivered, mail goes undelivered for days and things are not running like they did 6 months ago. openyoureyes to this nonpartisanproblem

If the USPS doesn't shape the fuck up they're going to get sold to Oracle.

Don’t underestimate the injustices created by the Supreme Court. Watch allinthefightfordemocracy free on 9/22 on AmazonPrime. Confirm your registration hasn’t been stolen. Be active in your democracy.

And to shut off any democrat votes coming in after the election;

This should not have ever been an issue. There is nothing wrong with voting by mail.

Lol it’s going to take more than a judge or even god to make them deliver ANYTHING on time. Really dumb people
