Postal Service Moves Forward on Mail-in Voting Rule | US News

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description

A federal appeals court has cleared the way for the U.S. Postal Service to move forward with a controversial new mail-in voting rule, overturning a nationwide injunction that blocked it — despite objections from the NAACP and ongoing legal challenges. The rule, tied to a Trump-era executive order, would require states to upload voter data and assign unique barcodes to ballots, with unverified voters’ ballots held by the Postal Service. Critics warn it could create arbitrary barriers to voting, while the Postal Service says it’s still in early stages, needing final approval and multiple reviews before nationwide implementation. The legal battle is far from over — with another injunction still active in Massachusetts and more court challenges looming.
