On-time delivery of ballots has dipped below a rate of 90
On Friday, the judge ordered measures in places where election mail processing scores for completed ballots returned by voters were recently below 90 percent.
CNN noted that more critical battlegrounds states are currently experiencing a drop in scores –– below 90% –– and those already below that did not improve substantially while others dropped even lower.
The USPS earlier issued a memo laying down numerous extra measures it is taking to deliver ballots, which include, among others, arranging for after-hours handoffs with boards of elections. USPS said it does not recommend mailing ballots less than seven days before state deadlines.
President Trump has insisted that results should be known on Election night
Sullivan’s order also comes on the heels of repeated statements from U.S. President Donald Trump that mail voting would lead to widespread fraud.
Pres. Trump has insisted that the results be known on Election night, saying: “If people wanted to get their ballots in, they should have gotten their ballots in long before that.”
