Sullivan of the District of Columbia to conduct sweeps in mail processing facilities serving 15 states to ensure that all ballots in the system be delivered to elections offices on time. That’s landing them back in court Wednesday. That leaves ballots from 300,523 Americans that the USPS has lost track of that may not be counted in areas including Philadelphia, Detroit, and Atlanta.

Lame duck coming up. Leadership elections. Soul searching. Buckle up. Sure. Data is closer everywhere. But house Dems have been told they were on the march. They weren’t.”

11:15 PM (CET) A federal judge has scheduled a hearing for 9 a.m. Wednesday on the lawsuit over pre-processing of mail ballots in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. A lawyer involved in the case said the county was notifying voters if their ballot envelopes had some obvious problem, like a missing date or signature. And the county was also weighing envelopes to see if they contained the required inner security envelope. The county was not, however, opening the envelopes, so one question is whether these procedures violated the state law against pre-canvassing ballots before election day. A Republican candidate for Congress, Kathy Barnette, claims that county officials illegally began the process of pre-canvassing — or pre-processing — mailed ballots before the time specified in state law, which is 7 a.m. on election day.
11:00 PM (CET) Four polling locations in North Carolina will remain open past the state’s official poll closing time of 7:30 p.m. ET, the state’s Board of Elections voted Tuesday. The extension will delay the battleground state’s reporting of election results by 45 minutes, to 8:15 p.m. ET.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined a GOP challenge to Pennsylvania’s extension of the deadline for counting ballots to three days after Election Day, but the justices indicated they could revisit the matter after November 3.

08:50 PM (CET) The Binge Thinker predict: “Over the past month I’ve made minor tweaks to the basic map that I release today. But I end not far from where I began. And in reality it’s not much different than I’ve been saying on-air for more than two years. If the Trump campaign ground game truly registered the number of new voters they’ve claimed, and provided the turnout for today mirrors some level of the same energy as 2016 (or greater,) President Trump will claim a bigger victory than he did in 2016.”

That could lead to a new era in U.S. politics, if their party also captures the White House and holds onto the U.S. House of Representatives.
