The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has settled a lawsuit against the U.S. Postal Service alleging that the untimely delivery of mail-in ballots during the 2020 election suppressed the votes of racial minorities.
Under the terms of the settlement, filed Friday in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., the USPS will meet twice each election year with the NAACP before spring primaries and general elections in the fall. It will also provide weekly performance reports to the civil rights organization for the six weeks leading up to these elections and publish its plans to show how it will prioritize ballot delivery for elections until 2028.
