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.
