Judge to weigh Democrats' bid to block Trump's executive order on voting
The agency has begun drafting a rule as lawsuits continue and leaders warn it could run out of money within a year.
- President Donald Trump signed a March executive order directing the Postal Service to create "state citizenship lists" and stop delivering absentee ballots to anyone not on those lists.
- Trump, who has long alleged mail-in voting leads to fraud, nominated four candidates to the Postal Service board, potentially reshaping the agency to support his policy agenda.
- Postmaster General David Steiner warned Congress that the Postal Service announced a nearly $2 billion quarterly loss, complicating the new mandate requiring states to send voter lists 60 days before elections.
- While a district court evaluates the Postal Service's enforcement role this week, the agency has begun the mandated rulemaking process to comply with the White House directive.
- Research from the Brookings Institute found mail-in voting fraud cases made up just 0.000043% of all ballots cast by mail, while the Constitution reserves election administration control for individual states.
