Postal Chief Breaks Silence as Trump’s Mail-Voting Crackdown Falters

Postmaster General David Steiner says the USPS will not enforce Trump’s proposed mail-voting rules in the 2026 election after the Supreme Court struck down the order, with the agency pausing a controversial voter-list database amid whistleblower concerns and liquidity worries. Steiner emphasizes execution over policy, seeks legislative changes to ease funding pressures, and urges voters to mail ballots early to avoid postmark delays; envelope barcodes are encouraged but not mandatory, with noncompliance potentially raising postage costs.
