Governors Press USPS To Not Comply With Trump Order

A group of Democratic governors is asking the U.S. Postal Service to withdraw its proposed rule to comply with an executive order that seeks to create a federal list of eligible voters, including those eligible to receive a ballot by mail. Under the order, signed by President Trump, federal agencies would create voter lists for each state and the Postal Service would limit mailed ballots to those on the lists. The Democratic governors, in their letter sent Thursday, said the Postal Service’s proposed rule undermines trust in elections and complicates voting. The Postal Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
