USPS Demands Voter Info But Swears Court Says ‘Nope’
KEY POINTS
- •USPS prepared a final rule to require states to share voter info before sending ballots in November.
- •Two federal courts in California and Massachusetts have legally blocked this rule from going into effect.
- •The rule aims to comply with a March executive order signed by former President Donald Trump.
In a plot twist that’s about as subtle as a Trump tweet, the USPS is ready to drop a final rule this Friday requiring states to hand over voters’ info before delivering their precious ballots for the November midterms. Yes, rights and royalty-level secrecy be damned! But wait – hold your USPS trucks – this move is currently blocked by not one but two federal court orders from sunny California and clammy Massachusetts, because nothing says drama like legal smackdowns on a federal agency following a March executive order by none other than Donald Trump. USPS acknowledges it’s basically launching the ship but the courts just pulled the anchor.

When USPS wants your voter info before sending ballots, you’re one lawsuit away from an election thriller franchise.
