New: After concluding that USPS policy changes that led to mail delays are likely to burden voting rights (see: ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_p…), a DC federal judge has entered a comprehensive order that requires several things of USPS going forward. Here are highlights:

2) USPS has to file a daily update with the court on locations where delivery service for ballots falls below a certain threshold, and explain why that's happening and what USPS is doing to address it

Earlier today, the parties had filed a "Joint Proposed Order" asking the judge to order this — but note that in a footnote on the first page, USPS made clear that they "do not believe additional relief is necessary"

1. Judge Sullivan is a good man, but it's too bad this didn't happen sooner!

And DeJoy can take a flying leap!

2. DeJoy will end up indicted for his crimes

Dirty Louie deserves an extraordinary sentence and stay in a federal prison for his larceny and treachery. He should also reimburse personally for the destroyed high speed mail sorting equipment.
