USPS moves to curb mail-in ballots under Trump-backed rule
TL;DR Summary
Postmaster General David Steiner said the USPS would restrict mail-in ballots in states that don’t provide lists of eligible voters, following a Trump-ordered rule. Democrats argue it would federalize election administration, while Republicans say it’s about preventing fraud. The rule would require the USPS board’s approval and raises constitutional questions, as election oversight is primarily a state matter; USPS officials also stressed ongoing financial pressures as they prepare for the 2026 midterms.
