Postal Service Blocked from Voting Rules | Anchorage News
Description
A federal judge has halted the USPS’s controversial plan to restrict mail-in voting for midterms, blocking requirements like voter lists and special barcodes—rules courts say overstep postal authority. This follows a similar appeals court ruling, leaving ballots on track as usual. Originating from Trump’s executive order targeting voter fraud (which studies show is extremely rare), the plan now faces potential Supreme Court review—but experts warn it’s too late to implement without chaos. Voters in states like North Carolina and Wisconsin are already receiving ballots; mail-in voting remains intact for now.
