🧵 (1/5) 📬 Under a new Trump administration proposal, your mail-in ballot could be rejected before it ever reaches you. The Postal Service would be required to turn away ballots from states that don’t hand over voter data to the federal government.

(2/5) The proposed rule requires state election officials to submit a list of every mail ballot recipient to USPS at least 30 days before they’re sent out. But if voters are not on the list, they will not receive a ballot.

This can't be legal. Trump and his post office guy decide to try and do this without a Congressional vote on it. States are supposed to decide their own voting laws.

Not legal and won’t work

(3/5) The rule also allows state officials to add or update voters on the list until the last day ballots may be mailed out to voters under state law. This WILL lead to errors that will impact voters.

(4/5) The rule stems from an executive order Trump signed in March directing USPS to take new steps around mail ballot transmission. The order faces multiple lawsuits.

(5/5) In effect, the USPS would be regulating elections and who gets to vote. The result: If YOU rely on mail voting, you could be disenfranchised. The USPS is accepting public feedback until July 2, 2026. Check out the link below for more information on how to fight back ⤵️

A federal judge has upheld this order. It needs to be appealed ASAP. The constitution gives states, not the Republican Party, the power over elections.

Thank you silence

Federal government doesn't control ballots. It is a State issue, so USPS can't threaten us. If Felon Don Pedo himself can vote by mail then everyone can.l

The post office can't handle its job as it stands! And the gov't has been stripped of its brains & skills. Brilliant plan, maga-tards!
