Judge Sullivan Orders Post Office To Actually Deliver Any Ballots They've Got

Is it good news when it's news that never should have been newsworthy in the first place?

UPDATE: Um… See Below

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.

While the Post Office’s hack leadership argued that this wasn’t political, the case revealed that the hardest hit areas for mail delays are places like Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, Houston, South Florida, and all of Arizona. HMMMMMM!!!

To wit, Judge Sullivan just ordered postal inspectors to sweep facilities in these areas at 3 p.m. Eastern today to ensure that ballots are not languishing in back offices.

Just another totally normal thing we have to rely upon federal court orders to make a reality in 2020.

UPDATE: Guess what?
