USPS daily reports of election mail status in VA - are they happening? - what do they show?

An agreement was reached that the USPS would daily either report all clear of election mail or explain what or why election mail was not cleared.

see https://www.democraticunderground.com/108111163 about the consent order.

I've tried to find any information about what these daily reports have shown with no luck. Has anyone seen reporting of them?

I’ve always had a lot of respect for the USPS I think it’s just a shame what’s happening to it

I do know I have been getting mail from credit card companies telling me I should expect delays in mail delivery, and using that to encourage going paperless

Filled out ballots need to be post marked 11/2 and received by 11/5 at registrar

An absentee voter could still receive a ballot and mail or drop at registrar office

Ballots already filled out and mailed need to be postmarked and delivered.

Fairfax County has a great automated tracking via text system set up, sign up and get notified by the Ofc of Elections when they’ve counted it.

There were no scans other than the initial scan on that ballot.

There were only occasional deliveries at our address for more than a month. The problem appears to be in the local post offices named in the lawsuit and not limited to election mail. The registrars receive mail from that post office. It is a very blue city and a purple county here.

The PO here has had issues with manpower for much more than five years do it predates DeJoy.

Wonder if there’s an inspector general who oversees the P.O…. this seems far beyond the range of acceptable performance.
