Postmaster General DeJoy implements operational changes slowing mail nationwide

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy begins implementing sweeping operational changes at USPS, ordering the removal of high-speed mail sorting machines from facilities, cutting overtime pay for postal workers, and eliminating late or extra mail transport trips. Mail delivery times slow dramatically nationwide. Postal workers report sorting machines being disabled and removed from facilities, equipment that processes first-class mail including ballots. With Election Day less than four months away, civil rights groups, state attorneys general, and Democratic lawmakers accuse DeJoy of deliberately sabotaging mail-ballot delivery to suppress votes.
