".. Trump is trying to turn the United States Postal Service into a federal checkpoint for mail ballots – and the USPS is getting ready to make it happen.
If this proposed USPS regulation moves forward, millions of registered voters would not even receive their ballots to vote in federal elections, including for Congress or for President.
Let’s be crystal clear here: We’re not even talking about people mailing in their ballots yet. We’re talking about the post office checking a list before sending eligible voters the ballots needed to vote in the first place.
The proposed rule is based on Trump’s March executive order attacking voting by mail under the false flag of election security. It would require state election officials to send USPS a list of voters based in part on Department of Homeland Security — created citizenship databases that have repeatedly been shown to be inaccurate and flawed.[1]
If voters aren’t on the list, they will not receive a ballot in the mail.
Voting by mail is safe, secure, convenient, and for many people, it is the only accessible way to cast a ballot. Seniors, voters with disabilities, rural voters, Indigenous voters, military families, students, caregivers, and working people all rely on the post office to exercise their right to vote.
The Postal Service delivers the mail. It does not run elections. The USPS serves every address in America, regardless of party, race, income, geography, disability, age, or citizenship status. Its job is to provide universal service to the public, not carry out Trump’s voter suppression agenda.."
