Judge Emmet Sullivan, who has been having a hell of a busy 2020, is presiding over a lawsuit dealing with the U.S. Postal Service’s efforts to gum up delivery schedules across the country to prevent mail-in ballots — expected to favor Democrats — from potentially keeping Trump from prematurely declaring victory.
