Nov. 5 (UPI) -- A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Thursday ordered the U.S. Postal Service to conduct twice daily sweeps of facilities for mail-in ballots in states where they can still legally be delivered and counted.
Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered that "all USPS processing facilities that serve a state with an extended ballot receipt deadline" perform sweeps each morning before 10 a.m. and again in the midafternoon to ensure ballots can be delivered to election officials that day.
