USPS Tightens Mail-In Voting Rules Amid Controversy

The U.S. Postal Service issued a final rule tightening requirements for mail-in voting for November elections, countering a court's injunction. Despite opposition, the rule demands voter lists and ballot tracking info from states. USPS awaits further court decisions before implementation.

In a move that sparked controversy, the U.S. Postal Service has published a final rule to enforce stricter regulations for mail-in voting ahead of the November congressional elections.

Despite a court injunction, the USPS aims for the rule to take immediate effect if future court decisions allow. It requires states to provide detailed voter lists and ballot tracking information.

This follows an executive order by former President Donald Trump advocating for tight mail voting rules amidst unfounded voter fraud claims. Postal Service officials await further legal outcomes prior to implementation.
