A judge told USPS to search mail for ballots by 3 p.m. on Election Day. USPS said no.
The United States Postal Service failed to comply with a federal court order on Election Day to inspect mail service in some cities to make sure that all mailed ballots were delivered.
USPS said it couldn't meet U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan's deadline to send inspectors or designees between 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. Tuesday to certain U.S. processing facilities to sweep for ballots and make sure remaining ones were sent out. A status update was due by 4:30 p.m. confirming the sweeps took place.
