A federal judge is demanding that US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy appears in court to explain himself.<br />Business Insider reports Judge Emmet Sullivan made the remark in hearing a case brought by the NAACP and other civil rights groups.<br />The plaintiffs have been trying to get the US postal service to deliver mail-in ballots in a timely manner.<br />The purpose of Wednesday's hearing was to grill the USPS on its noncompliance with Judge Sullivan's previous orders.<br />Sullivan ordered the USPS on Tuesday to reexamine mailing locations in 15 states and ensure that any found ballots would be delivered before polls closed.<br />The Postal Service said it wouldn't comply with the order and would keep its own schedule, which would finish its sweep by 8 p.m. on Tuesday.<br />Expressing his fury at the USPS's performance throughout the pandemic, Sullivan accused the USPS of slow-walking responses to his orders.<br />The postmaster's going to have to be deposed or appear before me.
