The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) agreed on Oct. 14 to reverse changes that were put in motion to cut losses but resulted in a temporary slowdown in mail delivery, settling a lawsuit brought by the governor of Montana.
The lawsuit, filed by Gov. Steve Bullock (D) against the USPS and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on Sept. 9, argued that changes implemented in June harmed access to mail services in Montana, resulting in delayed delivery of medical prescriptions, payments, and job applications, and impeding the ability of Montana residents to vote by mail.
