Judge Stanley Bastian called the changes “a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the Postal Service”. A judge has blocked controversial United States Postal Service changes that have slowed mail nationwide, calling them “a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the postal service” before the November election. They also sought to force the Postal Service to treat election mail as first class mail. Postal Service spokesman Dave Partenheimer said the organisation is reviewing its legal options, but “there should be no doubt that the Postal Service is ready and committed to handle whatever volume of election mail it receives”. Lee Moak, a member of the Postal Service board of governors, called the notion any changes were politically motivated “completely and utterly without merit”.
