With just hours remaining on Election Day, a federal judge has ordered the US Postal Service to round up and rush all undelivered absentee ballots. Business Insider reports US District Judge Emmet Sullivan's order targeted specific areas. Some are in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Georgia, where the GOP has tried to invalidate many early and mail-in ballots. In many states, mail-in ballots can only be counted if they arrive by the time the polls close on Election Day--even if they were postmarked before Tuesday. Last week, Texas GOP officials asked the state Supreme Court to discard 127,000 ballots cast at drive-through voting sites. The sites were located in Democratic-leaning Harris County. However, the request was denied.
Business Insider reports there are still 11 million fewer Americans employed compared to before the pandemic hit in February. The pace of job growth is slowing, and Tuesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated his call for more economic aid from the US government to American workers. Economists warn another stimulus package is necessary to ward off the threat of a double-dip recession. Without it, Powell said on Tuesday, the economic recovery will be painfully slow. Nevertheless, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered an end to all Congressional stimulus talks. That is, until after he is reelected in November.
