Virginia Democrats sue USPS for delays that threaten to ‘disenfranchise’ voters

The Virginia Democratic Party filed a lawsuit against the United States Postal Service (USPS) on Friday for allegedly failing to process and deliver election-related mail on time, contending the delays are “threatening to disenfranchise” thousands of voters ahead of next month’s contentious gubernatorial election.

The lawsuit argues that while problems are being observed throughout the commonwealth, the “significant delay in election mail” in Albemarle, Portsmouth and James City counties is “particularly egregious.”

The party is alleging that thousands of ballots delivered to postal facilities by general registrars in those counties are “still outstanding” and have yet to be scanned into USPS’s system.

The plaintiffs said these delays are causing uncertainty regarding whether ballots can be returned in time to be counted.

“Even if these voters do eventually receive their ballots before Election Day, the slowdowns promise that they will not have sufficient time to send them back with assurance that they will arrive in time to be counted,” the lawsuit reads.

“And even if a ballot reaches the appropriate election official before the receipt deadline, if the official identifies any issues with it that require remediation before it may be counted, the voters will have run out of time to rectify the problem,” the lawsuit adds.

  1. LOL! Why don’t they just cheat like last time. After all Psaki said that Joe endorses McAullife and “We’re going to do everything we can to help former Governor McAuliffe, …” So I am sure their friends with Dominion will help them out.

  2. make election day a NATIONAL holiday each and every year.

    Go and vote at your district location

    PROBLEMS SOLVED!

    What oh what did we do prior to automation? Oh yeah, showed up and voted a your district location.

    Suing USPS? Geeez

  3. One day.

    One vote.

    Proof of person required.

    No same-day registrations.

    Paper ballots. No sharpies. No machines.

    No ballot adjudication. Voter’s intent is
    expressed only by clear ballot markings.
    Unreadable ballots are not counted.

    Mail-ins only for certain certified disabled,
    received by and counted on election day;
    and military, stationed outside of their voting
    district, due within X days after election day.

    Done by 9, results by midnight.

  4. They don’t have any problem going to Walmart 4 times a week, going to 7-11 for cigarettes and lottery tickets but you’re so scared to go vote in person? Abolish mail in voting, the only way democrats will EVER win another election!

    Let’s go Brandon!

  5. They are some backstabbing sob’s! After the post office helped them cheat the real President out of his rightful office (with their delays so we could count late votes), the demonrat commies have now turned on their former ally. No sense of loyalty whatsoever. It is kinda cool to watch em start eating each other though. More to come!
