A Washington judge ordered the Postal Service to conduct a full sweep of facilities in 12 key postal districts to ensure every ballot is delivered before polls close on Election Day.

U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Emmett Sullivan ordered the “all clear” of the facilities on Tuesday “between 12:30 p.m. (EST) and 3:00 p.m. (EST) to ensure that no ballots have been held up and that any identified ballots are immediately sent out for delivery,” according to ABC 30.
