USPS Advances Plan to Restrict Mail Ballots to Federally Registered Voters
TL;DR
USPS published a proposed rule to restrict mail-in ballots to voters on federal registration lists, a move linked to President Trump’s bid to curb mail voting. If finalized, states would have to provide these lists 30 days before ballots are mailed, risking eligible voters losing ballots and prompting ongoing lawsuits about federal overreach into state-run elections.
