If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections \u2014 and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The proposed rules lay out new conditions that states would have to meet to send ballots through the mail, including giving the agency lists of all voters set to receive mail ballots.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            So far, 23 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia are suing, as are Democratic Party leaders and non-partisan voter advocacy groups, setting up a potentially active summer of high-stakes judicial rulings.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Trump administration cleared an initial legal hurdle last month, when a federal judge in Washington, DC, who is overseeing one set of the cases, declined to block Trump\u2019s executive order, allowing the Postal Service to begin implementing it.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Democratic Party groups are asking an appeals court to speed up its review of that decision, warning that voters around the country could be disenfranchised in this year\u2019s midterm elections if the proposal is not blocked.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In an interview with CNN, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat whose state is part of the coalition that filed a legal challenge in Boston, said that if courts rule for the Trump administration, \u201cThen you will see a virtual elimination of mail-in voting, unless the states supply voter lists to the federal government.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The March 2026 executive order is one of several moves Trump has made recently to seek federal control over elections and restrict mail-in voting, which he has repeatedly cast as a tool used by his opponents for election cheating despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            On Capitol Hill, the SAVE Act, a Trump-backed bill requiring new citizenship verification measures to register to vote, has floundered in the Senate. Courts have pushed back on other aggressive attempts by the administration to inject itself in the voting process \u2014 a job the Constitution largely gives to the states.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But now Trump\u2019s executive order seeks to give USPS an unprecedented role in the midterm elections: not just delivering ballots but policing who gets one.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIf proper postage is paid on a mail piece, the USPS should deliver it,\u201d former USPS Board of Governors Vice Chair Anton Hajjar told CNN. \u201cThe proposed rule says it\u2019s not regulating elections but that\u2019s what, in effect, it\u2019s doing,\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In a statement, the White House said that the \u201centire Trump Administration will continue lawfully enacting the agenda President Trump was elected to enact \u2013 which includes the safety and security of American elections.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe Administration remains confident that the Executive Order will be implemented by the November election, which was always the intent when it was signed,\u201d White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A ballot box rests outside Contra Costa County's elections office on May 27, in Martinez, California.\" class=\"wp-image-2317\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/91a92a5520d854fd54083a6eb35f1e21.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/91a92a5520d854fd54083a6eb35f1e21.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/91a92a5520d854fd54083a6eb35f1e21-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>A ballot box rests outside Contra Costa County&#8217;s elections office on May 27, in Martinez, California.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Benjamin Fanjoy\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n        Unprecedented role for USPS\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            While the language the Postal Service drafted still leaves states in charge of deciding which voters end up on the lists submitted to the agency, it tells USPS not to send ballots for states that don\u2019t follow that process. The states\u2019 mail balloting programs must meet other requirements in Trump\u2019s order for USPS to deliver their ballots, potentially forcing some jurisdictions to completely redesign their mail voting materials.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThis would deny eligible people the right to vote. Full stop,\u201d said Tobias Read, secretary of state in Oregon, one of the 23 states suing the administration over the order.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThis is not in the president\u2019s power,\u201d Read said. \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely clear in the Constitution \u2013 states run elections.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            As the legal fight unfolds, Postal Service unions have communicated their concerns to USPS leadership about the order \u2013 and how it puts mail carriers in the position of deciding whether to transmit certain ballots.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cAs we read this draft, if a state does not comply with it, if they don\u2019t provide the information or the right format, then the Postal Service is going to simply refuse all of those ballots or whatever election mail it is, and that is very, very concerning,\u201d said Brian Renfroe, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        DHS citizenship lists\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s order also instructs the Department of Homeland Security to build its own state-by-state citizenship lists of eligible voters by pulling data from various federal agencies, fueling fears the administration could use the lists to pressure states to purge their voter rolls.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            State election officials already have the ability to use a DHS immigrant record system to verify their rolls, and the program has come under fire for falsely identifying eligible voters as non-citizens.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n            In court filings, the Trump administration has waffled on how DHS intends to carry out the plans for releasing state-by-state lists, but on Monday, the Justice Department said DHS is working on making \u201ccitizenship list information\u201d available for states to access.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            DHS is also having \u201cpreliminary conversations\u201d about the agencies sharing data, DOJ said Monday. The administration previously told the court that DHS was exploring whether the state voter data provided to USPS could be used to help \u201cmonitor mail-in and absentee ballot flows, identify anomalies that may suggest voter fraud or misuse, and generate authorized investigative leads.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2309\">Trump wanted to star at the World Cup, but politics may spoil the party<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            A spokesperson for DHS said in a statement to CNN that it was lawfully implementing President Trump\u2019s executive order and that it was committed to \u201crestoring integrity to our election systems and ensuring that American citizens and only American citizens are electing American leaders.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"An election worker moves mail-in ballots to be organized for tabulation at the Los Angeles County Ballot Processing Center during California's state primary election in the City of Industry, California, on June 2.\" class=\"wp-image-2318\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fedce9d3b1a8771f031d452d95c05265.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fedce9d3b1a8771f031d452d95c05265.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fedce9d3b1a8771f031d452d95c05265-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>An election worker moves mail-in ballots to be organized for tabulation at the Los Angeles County Ballot Processing Center during California&#8217;s state primary election in the City of Industry, California, on June 2.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Patrick T.

Those design features have long been best practices for mail voting, said Tammy Patrick, chief programs officer at Election Center, a non-profit that serves elections officials across the country.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThere are practical reasons why some jurisdictions haven\u2019t adopted this,\u201d said Patrick. She pointed both to budgetary issues as well as state laws that stand in the way of ballot envelope designs that facilitate automated tracking.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            How jurisdictions organize and format their mail vote data varies from state to state, and within each state, posing potential obstacles for how USPS will receive those lists.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cAcross the states, it\u2019s been a challenge for local officials to make sure their data can be ingested and read by the states,\u201d Patrick said. \u201cAnd now we are asking all 50 states to have information that can be aligned for the Postal Service.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"US President Donald Trump signs an executive order cracking down on mail-in voting ahead of midterm elections in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on March 31.\" class=\"wp-image-2319\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5bde8f09f8d80e42bb0089e34fb851e1.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5bde8f09f8d80e42bb0089e34fb851e1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5bde8f09f8d80e42bb0089e34fb851e1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>US President Donald Trump signs an executive order cracking down on mail-in voting ahead of midterm elections in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on March 31.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Brendan Smialowski\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n        Legal fights over Trump\u2019s directives\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Trump tried to assert more control over federal elections in an executive order last year, but that has been largely blocked by judges who concluded he has no unilateral power to alter voting rules, and any such authority must come from Congress. Similar arguments are being made against the latest order.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Last month, US District Court Judge Carl Nichols declined to block Trump\u2019s 2026 executive order \u2013 not because he found its directives lawful, but because he said there were unanswered questions about how the government would implement it, so it was too soon for him to intervene.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Democrats are pushing the DC US Circuit Court of Appeals for a ruling this summer.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIf the Order remains in force, millions of American voters\u2019 sensitive personal data will be amassed into inaccurate and unlawful databases and USPS will engage in unprecedented interference with state mail voting programs,\u201d the Democrats wrote in a Monday court filing.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Justice Department argued in court filings \u201cthat there is no justification for such a compressed schedule.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The USPS proposal, which was rolled out the day after Nichols\u2019 ruling and is open to public comment, included some notable modifications to what Trump\u2019s March 2026 directive envisioned, softening some of the most stringent limitations on mail-in voting. For instance, it gave states flexibility to continue to modify the voter lists that are submitted to USPS as the midterms approach.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Still, election experts are puzzled by what USPS will do with those lists once the agency receives them and warn that any hiccups in that process could lead voters not getting their ballots in time.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Some election officials see the requirement as a backdoor data-grab by the administration as the Justice Department has sued 30 states to obtain sensitive voter data \u2013 particularly for universal mail-balloting states where essentially every voter would be on such a list. The eight courts that have ruled in those cases have all ruled against the Justice Department.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe already told the Trump administration that they couldn\u2019t have our voter data,\u201d said Amanda Gonzalez, who is the clerk of Jefferson County, Colorado, and a Democrat running to be the top election official in the state, which is fighting the administration\u2019s voter roll demand in court. \u201cThis is just a poorly disguised ploy to get it another way.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2299\">Trump indicates to Speaker Johnson he won\u2019t back down on Pulte despite fight over key surveillance authority<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State election officials could soon face a stark choice: hand over voter lists to the Trump administration or risk losing Postal Service delivery for mail-in ballots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1517,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
