The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

A coalition of 24 states and the District of Columbia sued the U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday to block a final rule published last Friday that would impose new federal requirements on mail ballots before the November midterm elections. The rule, issued in response to President Donald Trump’s March 31 executive order, would bar delivery of ballots from states that do not provide required voter information to USPS. The new case follows a Supreme Court ruling on Monday that found an earlier challenge to the executive order premature.

Mail Voting AttackMostly Left

Trump’s Postal Service changes are an unlawful attempt to restrict mail-in voting and interfere with elections. The rule poses a serious threat before the midterms and should be stopped before it can suppress ballots.
