    Default “ Judge blocks Postal Service changes that slowed mail delivery”

    “A U.S. judge on Thursday granted a request to temporarily block controversial Postal Service changes that have been accused of slowing mail nationwide, calling them "a politically motivated attack " ahead of the 2020 presidential election.”

    “Judge Stanley Bastian in Yakima, Wash., said he was issuing a nationwide preliminary injunction against the USPS sought by 14 states that sued the Trump administration and the Postal Service.“

    “The states challenged the Postal Service's so-called "leave behind" policy, where trucks have been leaving postal facilities on time regardless of whether there is more mail to load. They also sought to force the Postal Service to treat election mail as first-class mail.“

    Oh, oh, Trump ain’t going like this one, part of his screw up the mail strategy shelved, Judge obviously a socialist mad cause Trump won in 2016

    The sorting machines that were damaged will have to be replaced.

    About time. Even in this semi-rural, low-population-density place up here, the mail delays are ridiculous. Why should it take seven days for a 2 day priority mail package to get to a large metro area like DFW? Why should it take 10 days for a priority mail package to get to Vermont from Michigan?

    I've decided to quit paying extra for that service. Screw them. If it's going to plod along through the system at a literal snail's pace, then I'll use the cheaper services.

    A lot of sorting machines have already been removed and scrapped on orders from above. It was done to improve efficiency, lol.

    Judges deciding that they get to run everything is bad of us.
    The bottom line is that conservatives cant admit to themselves the Evil they have allowed to romp on their watch.

    This is going to hurt.

    Just what we need, a very bankrupt postal service wasting money on the orders of a judge.

    Exactly, they know that Trump isn't going to win on the mail in vote, so the strategdy is declare himself winner election night and do what ever he has to, the also to include billy barr, to discredit mail in votes, especially those arriving days later due to the Post Office

    It is so transparent it is amazing to think they thought they could get away with it

    Now come on, why at this moment in history does Trump's newly appointed head of the Post Office quickly, even before the authorizing body can review i, start making changes that will slow down the mail? The guy, who has only been on the job a couple of months, could have at least waited till after the election knowing there would be an increase in mail due to the mail in votes.

    One has to be deaf, dumb, and blind to not see the obvious

    Cheat by Mail is a new program, till four months ago that was not the plan, you cant blame the postal service for not having an operating crystal ball.

    Inside the looming postal disaster that could ruin the US election

    The US Postal Service is facing unprecedented delays which could upend the election on November 3, mail workers have told The Daily Telegraph. Sorting machines which process ballots have been removed and scrapped, mail collection boxes have been taken away, and one depot was so backed up it "looked like Armageddon" inside.

    Due to the coronavirus pandemic there is expected to be an explosion in mail-in voting, with 80 million Americans predicted to send their ballot through the post.

    But in June, Louis DeJoy, the new postmaster general, who has donated over $2 million to the campaigns of Donald Trump and other Republicans, began instituting drastic cuts. That included removing high-speed mail sorting machines, cutting overtime, and ordering trucks to leave plants on schedule even if there was mail still to be loaded.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...n-us-election/


    The Telegraph isn't "left", Grokie. Editorially, if anything, they favor Trump - not because they like him, but they think he would be best for Brexit.

    But the reporters report what they see.
