U.S. judge orders 'extraordinary measures' to ensure ballot deliveries

Source: Reuters

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan on Friday ordered the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to adopt “extraordinary measures” at some processing locations to ensure the timely delivery of millions of ballots before the Nov. 3 presidential election.

Sullivan said he was ordering the measures in places where Election Mail processing scores for completed ballots returned by voters were below 90% for at least two days from October 26-28.

The list includes Alabama, Alaska, Atlanta, Central Pennsylvania, Colorado/Wyoming, Detroit, Ft. Worth, Greater Indiana, Greater Michigan, Greater South Carolina, Louisiana, Mid-Carolinas, Mississippi, Northern New England, Oklahoma, among others.

Sullivan is the same judge presiding over the trial of General Michael Flynn.

And, also, what if DeJoy and his cronies simply ignore the orders until after Tuesday? Sure, they might be found in contempt -- but the votes still won't count.

Hope the Biden lawyers could get a judges order for postoffice inspections BEFORE it's too late.

because it would hurt the turd to continue the counting?

I'm sure Karl Rove is on this. We may even have another Brooks Brothers riot.
