Judge Emmet Sullivan of the US District Court of the District of Columbia ordered the United States Postal Service to sweep all processing facilities by 3 p.m. ET in a number of states, including some critical battleground state.

The order mandates that USPS postal inspectors "or their designees" must start sweeping the processing facilities by 3:00 p.m. ET.

According to the order, this is,

"to ensure that no ballots have been held up and that any identified ballots are immediately sent out for delivery."

The sweeps must be conducted in the following USPS districts:

Central Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, Detroit
Colorado/Wyoming
Atlanta
Houston
Alabama
Northern New England (New Hampshire and Maine)
Greater South Carolina
South Florida
Lakeland (Wisconsin)
Arizona

Seven battleground states are conducting sweeps and do not allow ballots to arrive after Election Day. They include: Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Florida, New Hampshire, Arizona, and Maine.

Hot off the press in our USPS case. The court just ordered postal inspectors or their designees to sweep facilities in AL, PA, MI, FL, SC among other places to ensure no ballot is left behind. @NAACP_LDF @Public_Citizen ⁦@NAACP

As an additional note, Philly has been streaming their mail-in ballot canvassing operation in the PA Convention Center downtown.

1. IT will of course not be done as DeJoy is a nazi fascist traitor, but hopefully something good can

come of this

When you vote for traitor you vote for a dictatorship, they know this is happening and they like it, if they steal this we are done, period, over and out.

And all because of WHINERS and BASHERS of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

[gopiscrap]

2. Fucking DeJoy needs to be tarred and feathered

my son is a letter carrier and you can't believe how much stress this has put on him and all the other Postal employees

[BComplex]

4. I hope the revenge is sweet! Biden/Harris are going to fix the post office and

save it from republicans.

[gopiscrap]

5. that is my hope also

[calimary]

16. How 'bout a nice jail cell for DeJoy?

Louie DeJAIL.

[Rebl2]

20. No he

needs to go to jail!!!!

[diva77]

23. A year in jail & a $1000 fine for every ballot held back by this hateful, sadistic imposter.

[FakeNoose]

3. Judge Sullivan should be holding DeJoy in custody just to make sure

It never hurts to have a little extra leverage.

[gopiscrap]

6. YES!!!!

[dchill]

7. Can't disagree.

8. Spot on! He is the executor of the shenanigans, but i don't think the architect of this plot to

rig the election or to destroy the Post Office. He is just the puppet carrying out the orders.

9. Nothing like live streaming! Thanks!

If USPS gets an overhaul, I'd like to see live cameras in every post office. It's worth the cost.

10. Looks like a shift change/people coming back from dinner break

Philly and the surrounding/rim counties in SE PA are going to count the mail-ins 24/7 until they are done.

[ancianita]

11. Let's hope so.

It only takes one Republican in any post office.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. The livestream is of the city canvassers who are processing the mail-in ballots

not the USPS "sweep". Hopefully the USPS will FIND and deliver ANY dangling ballots that may have been stuck in their facilities!

[ancianita]

13. They're showing it just before commercial breaks on MSNBC.

Hopefully Philiadelphia doesn't have irregularities and all the processing goes smoothly.
Bauer's law army is everywhere, I hope.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Okay - I guess Deely made it a vehicle for "broadcast"

I don't have the TV on but am streaming the feed from the city's election website.

[ancianita]

17. As it should be, given the occupants' crude threats.

Very cool they have that.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Did a screenshot of when they had adjusted the camera

where you can see a barrier behind where the media are -

[ancianita]

19. Cool! Thanks!

[calimary]

15. There's a lower court judge for the Supreme Court - for the next vacancy!

Which we can engineer if we rebalance the high court after January - by expanding it.

Hopefully he's not too old so he could settle in there, for awhile.

21. And .. the USPS ignores it.

From the Washington Post:

USPS disregards court order to conduct sweeps in 12 postal districts after more than 300,000 ballots can’t be traced

The U.S. Postal Service turned down a federal judge’s order late Tuesday afternoon to sweep mail processing facilities serving 15 states, saying instead it would stick to its own inspection schedule.

Sure must be nice to be able to just ignore court orders!

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Yup. Just saw it. And they are being called into the Principal's office

post haste.
