A U.S. judge on Tuesday order the U.S. Postal Service to conduct a sweep of some processing facilities by 3 p.m. to ensure no ballots have been held up, according to multiple national media outlets.

The order Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington D.C. also told the USPS to rush delivery of any ballots that are discovered. The order covers facilities in several crucial swing states where mail delivery has been slow.

Specifically, the order covers Central Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Detroit, Colorado/Wyoming, Atlanta, Houston, Alabama, Northern New England, Greater South Carolina, South Florida, Lakeland, and Arizona, according to U.S. News and World Report. The order by Sullivan comes on the heels of several other orders to the postal service since last week to reinforce “special procedures” to ensure every ballot is delivered on time.

The order is part of one of several lawsuits against the Postal Service over cost-cutting measures that slowed mail delivery this year and raised concerns that mail-in ballots would not be delivered on time, according to the Los Angeles Times. Recent data has shown that on-time mail delivery in some parts of the country has dropped to levels lower than in July, when millions of Americans went days, even weeks, without mail, the Times reported.

3. Sullivan is due a huge thank you award.

Altho of course one does not give out public kudos for what may be called a political decision by the losing side of a sniveling chickenshit brainless candidate.

Or what we call..a blow to fascism.
