## Resource

North Carolina just mailed out absentee ballots, officially launching midterm election season — but the mail-in process is already caught in a high-stakes legal battle headed to the Supreme Court. A Trump-era plan requires states to hand the USPS voter lists and special barcodes, with threats of ballot delays if rules aren’t followed. Supporters say it stops illegal voting — though evidence shows such fraud is nearly nonexistent. Critics warn the Postal Service has no authority over elections and that rushing this system risks chaos, especially for rural voters, veterans, and people with disabilities. A whistleblower also flagged flaws in the online portal used to collect voter data, raising fears of verification delays. With ballots already en route, the Supreme Court’s decision could reshape trust in mail voting — and the entire election’s outcome.
