President Trump, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and the U.S. Postal Service are being sued for changes within the agency that voters say are infringing on their right to vote
President Donald Trump, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and the U.S. Postal Service are being sued for changes within the agency that voters say are infringing on their right to vote.
The voters, who reside in New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Indiana, are suing to reverse several of DeJoy's changes to the Postal Service by reinstating overtime pay for postal workers, re-implementing sorting machines and a court order barring Trump and DeJoy "from engaging in any further attempt to deny [the plaintiffs] the right to mail in their vote."
"In short, DeJoy, doing Trump’s public bidding, has ensured even greater chaos in the Fall elections, putting his thumb on the electoral scales to help ensure Trump’s reelection and/or provide grounds for an election contest – not to mention helping Trump sow doubt in the minds of Americans about the integrity of the electoral process and the outcome itself, a loathsome tactic once associated only with tin-horn dictators and banana republics," the voters wrote in their complaint.
“We urge you to suspend any adjustments that could negatively affect service during the pandemic,” LeaMond said. “Further, we urge the Postal Service to be more forthcoming and transparent regarding any changes, including a more detailed cost-benefit analysis of the operational changes you have made and will be making to assure timely delivery of all mail, including election-related mail.”
