US Postal Service issues rule to tighten requirements for mail-in voting despite courts looking to block
Americas3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported28m ago
The United States Postal Service (USPS) announced new eligibility guidelines for mail-in ballots on Friday. The rule, detailed in a 95-page unpublished report, aims to tighten requirements for mail-in voting. These measures align with a March executive order issued by President Trump that sought to restrict mail-in voting practices.
The implementation of these guidelines occurs despite a previous federal court ruling that struck down the underlying executive order. The USPS move represents a direct compliance with the administration's directive, notwithstanding ongoing legal efforts to block the restrictions.
