United States Postal Service

The National Redistricting Foundation is supporting plaintiffs in Vote Forward v. DeJoy, a challenge to a set of policy changes at the U.S. Postal Service that unlawfully infringe on the right to vote in this year’s elections. The lawsuit brings claims focusing on: (1) the delay in the delivery of mail ballots caused by the policy changes, which will place unconstitutional burdens on the right to vote during the ongoing pandemic; and (2) the Postmaster General’s failure to seek approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission, as required by law, before unilaterally implementing policy changes that have a significant nationwide impact.

Vote Forward v. DeJoy was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Plaintiffs are being represented pro bono by lawyers at Covington and Burling LLP.
