For the week ending June 26th –

• A federal judge blocked key points in Trump’s March 31, 2026 executive order that would create a federal “national voter list” for mail-in and absentee ballots.  She ordered agencies to stop implementing the directives in the order immediately.
• Two judges ruled against a 2025 executive order that required documentary proof of citizenship (passport or birth certificate) as part of the voter registration process for federal elections, bars states from accepting mail-in absentee ballots after Election Day, and other election related issues.
• An appeals court blocked a Justice Department voter roll demand.

While these rulings are wins for our democracy, we could still lose our mail-in voting rights. It is possible that an appeals court or SCOTUS could overrule the lower courts. 

What the USPS Rule Would Do
State Voter Lists Required: States would have to provide USPS with names, addresses, and unique ballot barcodes for all voters requesting mail-in or absentee ballots in federal elections.

Federal Control Over Delivery: Only voters on the federal list would receive ballots. States could not send ballots to anyone not on that list.

Mandatory Standards: USPS would require official Election Mail logos, tracking barcodes, and design reviews for ballot mailings.

Data Use: The list would be used to create state-specific “Mail-In and Absentee Participation Lists” and to compare mailed ballots with returned ones for “potential issues.”

Scope: Applies to general, special, and runoff federal elections, but not primaries or ballots for military/overseas voters.

Legal and Political Context
The order is part of a broader push to limit no-excuse mail-in voting and assert federal control over elections, which the Constitution gives to states and Congress.

Lawsuits are challenging the order as unconstitutional, arguing it could block eligible voters due to proven errors and omissions in the list.

Eight states (plus D.C.) already automatically send ballots to all eligible voters; the rule could disrupt those systems.

Over 48 million Americans voted by mail in 2024, so the changes could significantly affect voting access in key states.

Administration’s Position
The White House says the goal is to “ensure the safety and security of American elections” and to implement the order before the 2026 midterms. U.S. elections are already safe. The truth is that the regime seeks to manipulate the election if they aren’t satisfied with the outcome.  From 2016 to 2022, approximately .000043% of mail-in ballots were fraudulent – 4 out of 10 million.

The White House is also demanding related legislation like the SAVE America Act, which would require photo ID for voting and end no-excuse mail-in voting. The SAVE America Act would also deter millions of women and low income Americans from voting unless they can produce a birth certificate and marriage certificate to prove their legal name.

Please speak out again the USPS’ proposed rule change for mail-in ballots by July 2nd.
