The Trump administration is directing the Postal Service to restrict mail ballot delivery to states that refuse to hand over voter registration lists — a policy now facing multiple lawsuits with courts not yet having ruled on its legality. The plan essentially creates a choice for Democratic-leaning states: surrender voter data or lose USPS mail voting access, which would disenfranchise voters who depend on mail ballots. Legal experts disagree sharply on whether this is constitutional — some argue only states and Congress can set federal election rules and that USPS lacks the authority to enforce such restrictions — but no court has yet ruled on the matter. The postal union has rejected compliance and civil rights groups are actively litigating the order.
