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.
One in four police officers in a major U.S. city were found to be suffering from mental health conditions. The conditions present in these officers were depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicidal ideation. According to a new survey published Wednesday, less than 20% of the affected officers had sought treatment. The findings are based on a survey of working police officers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. For their study researchers surveyed 434 patrol officers working for a large police department. According to UPI, 82% of the responding officers were male and in their 30s.
On Friday, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to continue the Census until October 31.

Judge Koh said Ross' directive was an "egregious violation" of her order. She faulted the administration with "chaotic, dilatory, and incomplete compliance with the Injunction Order."
