Important facts about LDF's case against the United States Postal Service and the 2020 elections

… <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">On December 17 2021, LDF and Public Citizen announced a <strong><a href="https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/170-Stipulation-and-attached-sett-agmt.pdf">settlement</a> </strong>in the historic case NAACP v. United States Postal Service. <span style="color: #0f1419;">Filed in August 2020, it challenged USPS delivery delays and inadequate measures to ensure timely delivery of mail-in ballots for the November 2020 election. Our suit resulted in USPS implementing court-ordered &#8220;extraordinary measures&#8221; for the timely delivery of ballots. Today’s settlement ensures that it will undertake similar efforts to prioritize the delivery of ballots in future national elections.</span></span></p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-05ae04b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="05ae04b" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <img decoding="async" width="2133" height="1067" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%202133%201067'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-full size-full wp-image-25291" alt="" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6.jpg 2133w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-300x150.jpg 300w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-768x384.jpg 768w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-1300x650.jpg 1300w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 2133px) 100vw, 2133px" data-lazy-src="https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6.jpg" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="2133" height="1067" src="https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6.jpg" class="attachment-full size-full wp-image-25291" alt="" srcset="https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6.jpg 2133w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-300x150.jpg 300w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-768x384.jpg 768w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https://www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-December-Twitter-USPS-6-1300x650.jpg 1300w" sizes="(max-width: 2133px) 100vw, 2133px" /></noscript> </div> …
