Summary
The Supreme Court is about to rule on a case that could reshape mail-in voting in Washington state, urging voters to mail ballots at least a week early or use secure drop boxes — as new Postal Service policies and political maneuvers threaten to delay or dilute ballot access. With ballots now postmarked at processing centers — not local offices — and less than half of early-mailed ballots getting same-day postmarks, election officials warn bureaucratic hurdles could silence voters. Meanwhile, a sweeping national voting bill demanding proof of citizenship at registration faces Senate gridlock, while the Postmaster General hints at restricting mail-in voting in states not following a national voter list — a move already challenged in court over unreliable data that could disenfranchise voters.
