US Postal Service issues rule to tighten requirements for mail-in voting despite courts looking to block
The United States Postal Service announced updated rules governing mail-in ballot eligibility, moving to implement restrictions outlined in a presidential executive order from March. The 95-page guidance document, scheduled for official publication on 26 August, reflects USPS's compliance with the executive action that sought to limit mail-in voting access.
This regulatory action proceeds despite judicial intervention, as a federal court had previously ruled against the executive order. The development creates a tension between executive branch implementation and court-ordered restrictions, setting up potential legal challenges ahead of the November election cycle.
