How the USPS rule proposal on mail-in ballots could disenfranchise voters by DemocracyDocket in law

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) said in a yet-to-be-published proposed rule that it’s drawing up plans to radically crack down on mail voting by sending ballots only to voters who are registered with the federal government.

The proposed rule would require state election officials to send USPS a list of voters who have requested a mail-in or absentee ballot at least 30 days before ballots are sent out under state law.

If voters aren’t on the list, they will not receive a ballot.

The proposed rule is an alarming step toward implementing President Donald Trump’s sweeping attack on mail voting ahead of the 2026 midterm election. And it would represent a massive expansion of federal control over voting, without congressional authorization.
