Y’all, did you know that Trump’s handpicked mail czar has declared that unless states give the Post Office lists of all voters, they just won’t deliver mail ballots. Just…won’t deliver them.
This is of course highly unconstitutional, especially since a federal court ruled today that the executive order underlying the request is …wait for it…unconstitutional.
Still, there’s a couple days left to yell at them about this nonsense and tell them to cut it out. You can do that here:

Analysis Summary
Postmaster General David Steiner confirmed this week that the USPS would withhold mail ballots from states refusing to provide voter lists to the federal government — a policy a federal court blocked today as unconstitutional after California and 19 other states sued. The plan would effectively suppress mail-in voting in non-compliant states ahead of the 2026 midterms, which is why the constitutional challenge succeeded. The post correctly identifies both the policy announcement and the court ruling, though it frames the policy as already in effect when it remains a proposed rule pending legal resolution.
Claims Analysis (3)
“Trump's handpicked mail czar has declared that unless states give the Post Office lists of all voters, they just won't deliver mail ballots.”
Postmaster General David Steiner confirmed to Senate this week that USPS would withhold mail ballots from states refusing to provide voter data. Corroborated by Democracy Docket, Politico, PBS, NYT, The Hill.
“A federal court ruled today that the executive order underlying the request is unconstitutional.”
California and 19 other states successfully sued and obtained a permanent block on Trump's executive order on voter ID and mail-in ballots. Confirmed by NBC Los Angeles, NBC Bay Area, NBC San Diego on June 24, 2026.
“The policy would be highly unconstitutional.”
Multiple legal analyses support this characterization. A federal court agreed by blocking the underlying executive order. However, this is a legal conclusion rather than a fact — some constitutional scholars debate the framing.
