Rule would require states to provide federal government with information on voters in return for delivering ballots
The US Postal Service prepared to publish a final rule late on Friday to impose new requirements on states to provide the federal government with information on voters before the November midterm congressional elections, despite a pair of court orders that currently block the changes from taking effect.
The USPS acknowledged in the text of the final rule posted online Friday, which is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register next week, that two injunctions issued by federal courts in California and Massachusetts currently bar it from moving ahead with the changes to comply with a March executive order signed by Donald Trump.
In accordance with the order, the postal service would require states to give the US Department of Homeland Security and other agencies access to lists of voters and to adopt new balloting procedures before the mail agency would make deliveries. If states did not comply, the USPS would refuse to deliver the ballots.
Always, always use the ballot boxes.
Where are you going get your ballot if it’s not being delivered to your mailbox?
In WA (and Oregon, and possibly California), you can print your ballot at home if it’s not received in the mail.
You go to the polling place and they hand it to you.
