25 Democratic States Sue USPS Over New Mail Voting Rule as Midterm Ballots Near
3 articles · Updated · infonews.ca · Aug 26
Summary
Twenty-five Democratic-led states sued the U.S. Postal Service after the Trump administration issued a mail-ballot rule requiring federal approval of ballot envelopes and voter eligibility lists.
The new case targets a rule published Friday night, after the Supreme Court said an earlier challenge was premature and before the first wave of 2026 mail ballots is due to go out next week.
Election officials say the requirements cannot realistically be implemented on such short notice and warn they could disrupt preparations already deep underway across the states.
Trump’s underlying executive order remains blocked for now, though the administration is asking courts to lift a separate injunction in light of the high court’s ruling.
