BREAKING: USPS fails to meet deadline set by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan to sweep facilities and immediately deliver remaining mail ballots. As of this week, USPS said there were some 300,000 ballots that lacked a delivery scan
USPS: "There are only one or two Inspectors in any one facility, and thus they do not have the ability to personally scour the entire facility. Indeed, doing so would be impractical (given the size of that facility)...
...and would take them away from their other pressing Election Mail- related responsibilities, as detailed above."
Says inspectors will be in the identified facilities "throughout the evening."
But dozens of states have due dates tonight, after which votes are invalidated

But dozens of states have due dates tonight, after which votes are invalidated
Deadlines are below (note that some dates may have changed due to litigation -- voters should consult with state election officials for up-to-date info) https://twitter.com/johnkruzel/status/1323688099285815296
Here are the roughly 300,000 mail-in votes that received a scan indicating they were entered into the mail processing system — but showed no corresponding destination scan that would confirm their delivery. (USPS Data, 11/2)
The @NAACP, one of the groups suing the USPS, says the Postal Service did not comply with J Sullivan's order.
They have requested an immediate conference.
