I have uploaded the opinion in the case out of Washington State enjoining the Postal Service from making changes to its procedures. It is a short opinion, only 13 pages. You don't have to read the entire opinion, only that portion beginning on page 9.

In fact, all you really have to do is read this paragraph:

"Although not necessarily apparent on the surface, at the heart of DeJoy’s and the Postal Service’s actions is voter disenfranchisement.

This is evident in President Trump’s highly partisan words and tweets, the actual impact of the changes on primary elections that resulted in uncounted ballots, and recent attempts and lawsuits by

the Republican National Committee and President Trump’s campaign to stop the States’ efforts to bypass the Postal Service by utilizing ballot drop boxes, as well as the timing of the changes.

It is easy to conclude that the recent Postal Services’ changes is an intentional effort on the part the current Administration to disrupt and challenge the legitimacy of upcoming local, state, and federal elections, especially given that 72% of the decommissioned high speed mail

sorting machines that were decommissioned were located in counties where Hillary Clinton receive the most votes in 2016."
