Hearing coming up at the top of the hour on the USPS lawsuits over possible delayed delivery of mail-in ballots.

Yesterday, Judge Sullivan indicated Postmaster DeJoy was not "off the hook" for failing to follow an Election Day order to sweep facilities for misplaced ballots.

Note that court staff have set up two more public lines after hundreds of people dialed in yesterday:
We also got a dump of data from USPS in the last hour or so on:

Extra and late trips
On-time delivery percentages
Number of inbound/outbound ballots processed

(all stats the agency has been sharing/updating daily over the last week)
DOJ has brought with today several USPS processing facility managers, per Sullivan's request yesterday, including from Philly, Central Penn, Greensboro and the Mid Carolinas.
Vote Forward attorney says the data USPS filed this morning suggests that 150K ballots were delivered yesterday, including 604 ballots in Atlanta and 7K in Pennsylvania.
Plaintiff attorney says in Atlanta 22.5% of ballots (around 136) were not processed on time, and in Penn 20% (around 1,400).

That means voters dropped the ballots in mail/ballot boxes and at post offices by Sat/Sun and they weren't delivered until Wed, 1 day after USPS planned.
Parties now discussing small changes to the following orders that Sullivan is ready to issue after the hearing:
DOJ attorney asking if the court can dismiss the USPS managers so they can get back to work.

Sullivan tells them before they leave he wants to say how much he appreciates and admires their work.
Nothing stops the post office, Sullivan said, adding he wanted to give the postwoman a big hug today and that his dog Zoey didn't even bark at her this morning.
Sullivan in a much better mood than yesterday, telling the parties "hope springs eternal."

He also just called out the plaintiffs for missing the midnight deadline on their proposed order -- then laughed and said "just kidding."
New tranche of records hit the docket, over 100 pages of "clean sweep" search checklists filled out by USPS plant managers:

Asked by NAACP what can be done to identify misplaced ballots that need to be delivered by today/tomorrow, Kevin Bray, USPS's head of 2020 election mail operations, said:

"The clean sweeps that we’re doing and have been doing would identify what we’re capturing and delivering."
