Six states and Washington, DC, are suing the United States Postal Service (USPS) over upcoming operational changes, contending that the coming reforms impede the ability of states “to conduct free and fair elections.”
California, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Washington, DC, are joining Pennsylvania, which is spearheading the lawsuit, according to Reuters:
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said “to the Trump Administration, delivering your paycheck, medication or ballot is a joke but there’s nothing funny about the wages you earn, your health, or right to vote. That’s why today we’re standing with Pennsylvania and other states, taking the Postmaster General to court.”
The news comes as postmaster general Louis DeJoy testifies before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee after widespread backlash following announcements of operational changes to USPS. As a result, USPS warned several states that it could experience delays in delivering mail-in ballots, particularly those that are sent close to the current deadline because of current election laws.
