Postal Service Publishes Plan to Restrict Mail Ballots

“The Postal Service on Friday published regulations that would restrict mail voting, its latest effort to comply with President Trump’s call to restrict the popular practice just months before the midterm elections,” the New York Times reports.

“In a 95-page final rule, the Postal Service clarified how it would carry out an executive order Mr. Trump signed in March, which sought to restrict mail ballots and create state-by-state lists of citizens to help determine voting eligibility.”

“In the rule, the Postal Service said that it would deliver mail ballots only in states that shared voter data with the federal agency.”
