The moves reduced costs but meant some mail was left behind to be delivered the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those delays and the removal of many mail-sorting machines were among actions that led New York and several other states to sue \u2014 claiming the actions amounted to voter suppression. DeJoy, a longtime Republican donor and political ally of former President Donald Trump, eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/virus-outbreak-election-2020-ap-top-news-politics-us-news-dc647214b5fc91cc29e776d8f4a4accf\">halted some of his operational changes \u201cto avoid even the appearance of impact on election mail.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat who is running for re-election, said Friday that the Postal Service actions \u201cmade a mockery of the right to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Postal Service disagreed with any assertion that the agency dragged its feet, pointing out that 99.89% of 2020 ballots were delivered to election officials within seven days. Performance further improved in last year\u2019s election, the agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny suggestion that the Postal Service or anyone in Postal Service leadership, up to and including the postmaster general, at any point in time was not fully committed to supporting our democratic process is inconsistent with the facts and our performance,\u201d the agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judge\u2019s ruling was released Thursday, a day before the Postal Service announced plans to increase prices in 2023. The proposal unveiled Friday would increase the cost of a forever stamp from 60 to 63 cents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Postal Service Board of Governors, a majority of whom are now appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/federal-oversight\/2022\/08\/24\/can-biden-fire-us-postmaster-general-louis-dejoy\/\" target=\"_blank\">has made no move to replace DeJoy <\/a>despite calls to do so by Democrats, a postal workers union and other critics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sullivan, in his ruling, said that the biggest impact on the delayed mail deliveries was the elimination of those extra delivery trips to homes and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judge ruled that the Postal Service cannot prohibit or curtail such trips if service standards dip below a certain level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delays and the removal of mail-sorting machines were
