U.S. judge temporarily blocks U.S. postal service changes

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked the United States Postal Service from making operational changes that states say threaten the timely delivery of election mail. Stanley Bastian, chief judge for the Eastern District of Washington state, said he was issuing a preliminary injunction in a case brought by 14 states over July changes to the postal service.

What's the Judge going to do if his order is ignored?

Call the Attorney General?

Trump has exposed the weakness of our system.

We need to plug these holes when we have power.
