Block Trump's USPS Rules That Would Gut Mail-In Voting

To: Gov. Ferguson, Rep. Kloba, Sen. Stanford, Rep. Duerr

From: A verified voter in Bothell, WA

June 17

Fight back against the Trump administration's attempt to weaponize the Postal Service against mail-in voting. The proposed USPS rules stemming from Trump's March 2026 executive order would require states to hand over voter lists to USPS as a condition of ballot delivery — and states that refuse risk losing mail ballot service entirely. That's not election integrity. That's a federal takeover of state elections. The practical damage alone is disqualifying. The USPS portal to receive this voter data doesn't even exist yet, and smaller rural election offices simply don't have the budget or staff to comply. Amanda Gonzalez, the Jefferson County, CO clerk, called it exactly what it is: "a poorly disguised ploy" to obtain voter data after courts blocked the Justice Department from getting it directly. Twenty-three states and DC are already suing. Eight courts have ruled against DOJ in related cases. The legal ground under this order is crumbling. The White House wants this in place before the November midterms. That deadline makes your action right now essential. Support the legal challenge at the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, and use every legislative tool available to defund implementation of these rules before they strip millions of voters of their ability to cast a ballot by mail.
