USPS publishes rule to block mail-in ballots from states that don’t provide voter lists
The US Postal Service has published a rule requiring states to provide it with lists of voters issued mail-in ballots. The move matters because it would tie postal handling of election ballots more closely to federal voter-list requirements and follows an executive order from President Donald Trump.
The rule was published on Friday and was first proposed on 2 June. According to the article, it is intended to align USPS policy with Trump’s 31 March executive order, although the text provided does not include further details on enforcement or states’ responses.
- USPS will require states to supply mail-in voter lists.
- The rule follows a Trump executive order.
- Enforcement details were not provided.
