Judge Sullivan is preparing to issue an order for OIG inspectors to sweep USPS processing facilities today that had low processing scores for ballots delivered yesterday -- including in Florida, Georgia and Pennsylvania -- to make sure no mail-in ballots are left behind.

(338 posts)Maybe the FBI should think about flagging DeJoy's passport. He may be planning an "emergency" trip to a postal location with no extradition agreements with the US.

(34,661 posts)about what the real story is. Another point is,DeJoy and his Pals are wanting the Postal Pension Funds that are some where north of 75 billion earning T-Bill Rates.
Watched this same Crew destroy Trucking Companies on their way to Hijack the Post office. BTW,most of the Postal Workers do vote Dem.

(33,447 posts)GOP has been using their propaganda machine and government power to wage war against unions since at least Rotten Ronnie. GOP owners demand this.

I do know the repugs covet all the business that the USPS does. Billions.

They don't want to do that.

(53,876 posts)The repugs do want to kill the USPS though. They've been trying to for years.
The parcel services just want the juicy, profitable parts of the business, not the Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night..." part.

(15,729 posts)itself as the last mile delivery agent for a lot less money that the UPS, FEDEX can, then the carriers are happy. USPS is hurting now because the airlines are not flying often. USPS was shipping mail and packages in the empty cargo spaces for very little money. So Amazon and others could ship faster and cheaper via the USPS.
Even now, if Amazon is shipping to me from thew Chicago or Tyler Texas ago, I do not select next day as it will be to me faster if I select regular. A package would ship from Rockford, Ill. It would head south to I-40. It would land in Conway, AR at night and I would get it in the morning. If shipping from Tyler, it would head up I-30 and land in Little Rock and I would get it next day. If I placed the order early in the morning and it was shipping from Houston area. Next day also.
Logistics is fun and the private carriers know it works find like it is.

(21,408 posts)but I assume they are the same as Pa. I sent in my ballot USPS on Oct. 13th and was able to track it from texting "Where's My Ballot?"
I made sure my county election office got my ballot. People who mailed their ballots should be able to track them to see if they were delivered. If they weren't delivered start making some phone calls.

(9,942 posts)if there are missing ballots that didn't get delivered, they're probably not sitting in a pile in a post office somewhere. It's much more likely that they're in a dumbster or have been turned to ashes by now.

(6,143 posts)The U.S. Postal Service turned down a federal judges order late Tuesday afternoon to sweep mail processing facilities serving 15 states, saying instead it would stick to its own inspection schedule. The court order came after the agency disclosed that more than 300,000 ballots nationwide could not be traced.
