USPS fails to meet federal judge's deadline for sweeping facilities to make sure no mail-in ballots

Source: Business Insider

The US Postal Service failed to meet a federal judge's deadline to sweep facilities for undelivered mail-in ballots and immediately deliver any they find, the agency said in a court filing Tuesday.

US District Judge Emmet Sullivan of the District of Columbia ordered the post office earlier on Tuesday to send inspectors to processing locations in several states by 3 p.m. ET to "ensure that no ballots have been held up and that any identified ballots are immediately sent out for delivery."

But the Postal Service said in a court filing late Tuesday afternoon that it is opting to follow its preplanned inspection schedule.

"This daily review process, however, occurs at different times every day," Justice Department attorneys representing the agency said in court filings. "Specifically, on Election Night, it is scheduled to occur from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., a time period developed by Postal Service Management and the Postal Inspection Service in order to ensure that Inspectors are on site to ensure compliance at the critical period before the polls close."
