Block the USPS Rule Coercing States Into Handing Over Voter Lists

To: Sen. Cantwell, Pres. Trump, Rep. DelBene, Sen. Murray

From: A verified voter in Bothell, WA

June 24

Block the new USPS rule that would withhold mail ballot delivery from states that refuse to hand over their voter lists to the federal government. This is not a postal policy — it's a coercion scheme designed to strip states of constitutionally protected control over their own elections. Postmaster General Steiner confirmed under oath that USPS will refuse to deliver election mail to states that don't comply. States like Washington, where mail voting is the default, would effectively be locked out of running their November elections. Sen. Hassan called the rule "blatantly illegal," and a federal judge in Massachusetts has already allowed legal challenges to proceed, noting the real harm this poses to November's elections. The courts are pushing back — you should too. Voter lists are state data, protected under the Constitution. This rule exists to reduce participation, not protect election integrity. Use every tool available — legislation, oversight, public pressure — to kill this rule before it takes effect.
