USPS to withhold ballot mail for states refusing absentee lists

At a Senate hearing, Postmaster General David Steiner said a proposed USPS rule would block mailing ballots to states that refuse to share absentee-voter lists with the federal government, requiring states to provide a Mail-In and Absentee Participation List with voter barcodes; Sen. Gary Peters pressed the plan, while Steiner defended it as necessary to match ballots with actual mail-outs, though critics warn it could nationalize elections.
