Mail-In Voting

Bowers News Media -   Yesterday, in response to a lawsuit brought by a group of Democratic states, a federal district court judge blocked Donald Trump's most recent executive order on mail-in voting. This is the executive order from March 31, 2026, that would require states to submit their lists of approved mail-in voters to the United States Postal Service (USPS) in order for the USPS to deliver mail-in ballots to those states.

While is an important win, the fight is far from over. Not only is the Trump administration expected to appeal this ruling, but four weeks ago a different federal district court judge allowed the mail-in executive order to stand. Democrats are and civil rights organizations are appealing that ruling.

....Whether or not states will have to submit an approved list of mail-in voters to United States Postal Service in order to conduct mail-in voting this year will be determined in the courts. On the one side will be the Trump administration, and on the other side will be, primarily, Democratic elected officials like state attorneys general and secretaries of state.
