The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) didn’t meet a deadline to carry out a sweep of several dozen districts around the United States for any undelivered mail-in ballots on Election Day after a judge ordered the agency to do so, according to the agency.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered the USPS to conduct a sweep of its facilities between 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. ET on Nov. 3.
