From tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors:
CNN tells us that a Federal Judge ruled that the USPS must prioritize election mail, and became the second judge to order a reversal of Postmaster Grifter, er, General Louis DeJoy’s policy changes:
US District Judge Victor Marrero in New York’s Southern District became the second federal judge to side against USPS in the past week. A judge in Washington state ordered many similar changes on Friday and blasted the Trump administration for what he called a “politically motivated attack” on USPS.
Marrero made several specific orders, including:
- treating all ballots as first-class mail (something that Bastian also ordered),
- paying for necessary overtime in the weeks surrounding the election.
- a detailed plan about how the USPS will guarantee that election-related mail is delivered on time
Marrero said if he doesn’t get that plan by Friday, he’ll impose his own plan.
Pretty neat, huh?
