USPS halts key Trump-era plan to vet mail ballots

USPS’s top IT official says work on a Trump-era system to compile citizenship lists for mail ballots has been halted; the initiative drew whistleblower criticism, and the Supreme Court rejected the policy for this election, with a memo saying the agency won’t enforce those rules in 2026. USPS says it will continue essential mail delivery and urges voters to submit ballots early amid ongoing postmark-delay concerns.
