Trump tells the Postal Service to create a voter list
The order would require the Postal Service to help create a federal voter list as Trump raises election-law questions for the courts.
- President Donald Trump directed the Postal Service to create a federal list of voters pre-approved for mail-in ballots. The order instructs the agency to "refuse to deliver" ballots for anyone not on the list.
- The directive requires this list be established at least 60 days before any federal election. Trump aims to preemptively blame "illegal votes" for potential outcomes in the upcoming election.
- Although the Postmaster General is appointed by a board of governors rather than the president, the mandate forces the Postal Service to determine its authority to reject specific mail.
- Opponents have filed lawsuits challenging the plan, arguing that the authority of the Postal Service to reject mail pieces is strictly defined by existing federal statutes.
- The courts will ultimately decide the legality of this order, as legal experts contend the administration's plan may overstep statutory limitations.
