Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced Tuesday that planned Postal Service reforms sparking fears of delayed mail deliveries will be postponed until after the election.
"To avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail, I am suspending these initiatives until after the election is concluded," DeJoy said in a statement.
He continued: "Retail hours at Post Offices will not change. Mail processing equipment and blue collection boxes will remain where they are. No mail processing facilities will be closed. And we reassert that overtime has, and will continue to be, approved as needed."

Southfield — Michigan union leaders within the U.S. Postal Service are sounding alarms about policy changes that one official describes as a "conscious decision to delay mail" as a political showdown brews in Washington, D.C.
The removal of at least eight mail sorting machines in Detroit, Pontiac and Grand Rapids facilities are causing the loss of sorting more than 270,000 pieces of mail per hour, according to union officials from around the state. The planned removal of another three machines in West Michigan would reduce mail sorting capability by another 108,000 pieces of mail per hour, a union official there said.

Why would you even be removing a bunch of mail sorting machines for the Michigan suburbs in the first place? I can understand wanting to limit overtime (right before an election during a pandemic) as a budget decision in terms of plausible deniability ... but removing machines?
Have they (trump donor DeJoy who Trump recently appointed) ever given a reason for removing the machines?
Are they going to put back the machines? Or did they already do their damage and now saying we dont do it anymore (even though damage was already done)?
