USPS ties ballot delivery to states sharing voter lists under Trump order

The Postal Service proposes rules that would condition the delivery of mail ballots on states providing voter data lists to the federal government and building citizenship lists through DHS, as directed by a Trump executive order. If states don’t comply, USPS could refuse to deliver their ballots, a move that has prompted lawsuits from 23 Democratic-led states and DC who argue it oversteps federal authority and risks voter disenfranchisement. The administration defends the plan as enforcing election integrity, while critics say it amounts to a data grab and may be unworkable amid funding and logistical hurdles. The case is unfolding in court as fights over federal involvement in elections continue.
