Judge "not pleased" after Postal Service failed to meet deadline on order

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A federal judge on Wednesday criticized the U.S. Postal Service for failing to comply with a deadline to sweep several facilities for missing mail-in ballots on Election Day.

The order was meant to trigger sweeps of facilities in six key battleground states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Texas, Arizona and Florida. Some of the 12 districts included in the order have legislation against accepting ballots after midnight on election night.

U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, who issued the order, expressed disappointment with the Postal Service and attorneys for the government and said he would consider deposing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on why the measures were not taken.

"Now you can tell your clients this in no uncertain terms," Sullivan said in a Wednesday hearing. "I am not pleased about this 11th-hour development last night. You can tell your clients that someone may have a price to pay for that."

1. Well Judge Sullivan needs to do something.

Bigly. Someone needs to go to jail and think about it.

6. Judge full of hot air until he does something.

Then it will be appealed to a court made up of Trump appointees and, presto, ruling overturned.

7. I'm sure no one wants to hear this, but I'm not sure those 300K ballots exist.

Philadelphia Inquirer:

“But it’s likely that these statistics seem worse than they actually are, the officials said. To quickly get ballots to election officials this week, the service bypassed its processing center in Southwest Philadelphia. Instead, employees in local post offices manually sorted and postmarked the ballot envelopes, then immediately delivered them to boards of elections the same day, according to postal officials.

“However, this meant those ballots were likely scanned in, but never scanned out, since they bypassed the rest of the system. Or as the service put it, the “local turnaround” "expedites delivery, but is not captured in service performance data.”

“Additionally, given the extraordinary measures the Postal Service instituted this week to ensure the timely return of ballots, the stark drop-off from last week to Tuesday doesn’t appear to add up. Employees at the Southwest Philadelphia said that Postal Inspectors had monitored daily ballot returns for the last week. . . . . .”

No one has found any proof of these 300K ballots not being delivered. If someone has a citation, would love to see it. Also, if they exist(ed) that means local postal employees did it. DeJoy is as ignorant as trump, but he wasn’t at all these post offices to hide ballots.
