Summary
The U.S. Postal Service is proposing a controversial new rule that could block mail-in ballot delivery to states refusing to share voter data with the federal government—a move tied to Trump’s executive order targeting voter fraud. Democrats warn it’s federal overreach, arguing elections are state responsibilities, while Steiner defends it as a procedural safeguard. Critics fear the Postal Service is being weaponized in an “authoritarian playbook,” urging it not to become a pawn in political agendas. With 30 days for public comment and a July deadline for finalization, this rule could reshape mail-in voting nationwide—and the Postal Service vows to comply with any court rulings.
