USPS publishes rule to block mail-in ballots from states that don't provide voter lists

Source: Fox News

Summary

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) published a rule requiring states to provide lists of voters who received mail-in ballots to the agency. The rule, first proposed on June 2, aligns with a March 31 executive order by former President Donald Trump. The rule mandates that states notify USPS at least 90 days before an election and provide voter lists 60 days in advance. The USPS rule cannot take effect due to a federal injunction against Trump’s executive order. A U.S. District Court Judge ruled parts of the executive order unconstitutional. The rule is set to be published on August 26 and would apply to the upcoming midterm elections if the injunction is lifted.
