23 States and D.C. Renew Lawsuit Against USPS Over New Mail Voting Rules Following Supreme Court Ruling
- A coalition of 23 states and Washington, D.C., has renewed its lawsuit against the U.S. Postal Service to block new mail voting rules after the Supreme Court allowed the rules to proceed.
- The finalized 'Ballot Mail for Federal Elections' rule requires election officials to submit voter information and ballot designs to USPS, which the states argue infringes on their authority to manage elections.
- State officials warn that the new requirements could lead to confusion and delays in ballot delivery ahead of the midterm elections, as they may force changes to existing procedures and materials.
