Summary
Nine Democratic governors are rallying to stop a controversial Postal Service rule designed to enforce a now-blocked Trump executive order that would have restricted mail-in ballots to a federal citizenship list. With a federal judge already ruling the original order unconstitutional, the governors argue the rule would undermine election integrity, disenfranchise millions, and overstep state authority. They’re urging the Postal Service to scrap the proposal, warning it could force postal workers to refuse ballot deliveries based on state compliance — a role they say is outside their mandate. The rule, which faced legal hurdles even before the executive order was blocked, reflects Trump’s repeated attempts to federalize election rules — despite court rulings and evidence that noncitizen voting is extremely rare.
