Postmaster General Confirms Plan to Hold Back Mail Ballots in States that Won’t Share Voter Data
- On Wednesday, Postmaster General David Steiner testified that the U.S. Postal Service will not deliver mail ballots from states refusing to share their voter lists with the Trump administration.
- Stemming from President Donald Trump's March 31 executive order titled 'Ensuring Citizen Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,' the proposal directs federal agencies to create lists of verified U.S. citizens eligible to vote by mail.
- Democratic Senator Gary Peters challenged Steiner during the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, arguing the policy 'coerces' states into surrendering sensitive voter data as a back-door attempt to gain constitutionally controlled information.
- Multiple lawsuits are currently challenging the directive, while 23 state attorneys general have sued to block the underlying executive order, citing concerns that it exceeds presidential authority.
- Public comment on the proposal remains open through July 2, as lawmakers and voting-rights groups warn the measures could transform USPS into an agency with authorities to disenfranchise Americans.
