Many more voters are expected to vote by mail this November because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the states have expressed concern that delays might result in voters not receiving ballots or registration forms in time.
Following a national uproar, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a major donor to President Donald Trump and the GOP, announced he was suspending some changes — including the removal of iconic blue mailboxes in many cities and the decommissioning of mail processing machines. But other changes remained in place, and the states — including the battlegrounds of Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada — asked the court to block them.
At the hearing, Justice Department attorney Joseph Borson sought to assure the judge that the Postal Service would handle election mail promptly, noting that a surge of ballots in the mail would pale in comparison to increases from, say, holiday cards. He also said slow-downs caused by the “leave mail behind” policy had gotten better since it was first implemented, and that the Postal Service in reality had made no changes with regard to how it classifies and processes election mail.
Voters who are worried about their ballots being counted “can simply promptly drop their ballots in the mail,” he said, and states can help by mailing registration form or absentee ballots early.
👏👏👏👏👏👏⚖️⚖️
Slow mail? Shittttt the mail been fast as fuck around here, I sent a package and it was delivered next day, had a package sent to me and it was delivered in 2 days... not sure who’s complaining about slow mail, but it is anything but slow
Wonder how much Union 'donations' are in his wallet?
What about all the machines already found to be destroyed/dumped etc?
Ok..but where is the follow up to restore the changes so the postal workers can handle the amount of mail on and before Election Day to be sure the ballots are delivered and returned on time?!?!?
Wow! States get first class service enough though they paid for marketing mail? That's another nail in the coffin of the USPS. What's next? Free delivery both ways?
Political judge attempts to litigate from the bench, incoming appeals court ruling Ftfy
And we are so surprised by mr integrity he blindsides us we thought he could never do such a thing (satire)
I just can't believe realDonaldTrump and his cult out here doing low down crooked moves and rubbing it in people faces like we just better accept what their doing. Why is he even campaigning just resign already let Mike_Pence take over
This is good for everyone that their votes will count, but why isn’t Trump being taken to court for telling and encouraging the public to commit a felony though? It’s fraud and no one within the law did anything. Should’ve been done sooner.
TRUE! Never had a package take 3 weeks to go from NYC to FLA. before.
It is clear what Trump and the post office general he appointed 3 months ago is doing here... So blatant an attempt at voter fraud
It's weird how surprised people are by this BECAUSE TRUMP LITERALLY SAID HE WAS DOING THIS ON LIVE TV. And it's blatantly a crime. I just can't believe we're now shocked when people are called out for the crimes they flagrantly break.
Thank god
Once again the MSM reaces deserately to blame the orange boogeyman for how the mail service has to many problems to be considered legit for delivering ballots, and therefore is open to fraud. Nice try, but your TDS is not a substitute for reality. Nice try.
Notice Paxton, Abbott and Patrick don't care. ChrisGTurner But txlege should and they should file in court...
My bills still arrive on time. No slow down there.
These changes didn’t slow the mail and they didn’t come in with the new postmaster all the stuff that was going on with retiring old machines have been longing in existence that’s always been an ongoing process there’s nothing new
WA STATE
In America we are having to sue to allow as many citizens to vote as possible. The rest of the world is laughing at us. Why would anyone vote for Rs, who want to suppress voting? TrumpFailedAmerica
realDonaldTrump embarrassing.
Hey, just for giggles...who appointed this judge? Hmm, let me guess? Obama? Yup. For some reason not in your article. So odd. But yet, that's not politically motivated. ROLLING EYES USPSsabotage
Politico is the ass wipe fake news make it up as you go, lie about it. it is your way
The mail will go thru regardless of rain, hail, of Trump or DeJoy.
Let's get it clear
Sounds like the judge in Hawaii again
Let me guess? Are we going to bombarded with him\\her being an Obama appointee?
That sounds like something a Democrat would say 🤔
