Court sets plan to make sure Postal Service delivers ballots quickly, one week ahead of Election Day
The order is some of the most aggressive oversight USPS has faced yet in its handling of election mail. It zeroes in on a controversial policy the USPS put in place in July -- then was forced to rescind -- to stop extra and late delivery trips.
Tuesday's order adds to several directives the Postal Service has received in court in recent months, after state governments won injunctions to reverse policy changes put in place by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy that could have disrupted the quick delivery of mailed ballots to election officials.
States and other groups had sought for courts to monitor and enforce the rulings they won. Sullivan's order on Tuesday essentially puts the judge in place to track the USPS operations daily, leading up to the election.
