Democratic state officials, USPS battle over Trump mail ballot rule ahead of 2028 election

The U.S. Postal Service faces renewed calls to drop restrictions ordered by President Donald Trump on mail ballots, setting up a major clash between states and the federal government ahead of the 2028 election. Postal worker unions, civic groups and Democratic secretaries of state are demanding the Postal Service rescind a rule that imposes sweeping new requirements on states if they want ballots delivered through the mail. As part of the rule, states must submit the names of likely mail voters to the federal government. The U.S. Supreme Court blocked the Postal Service from implementing the rule for the midterm elections. But the decision applied only to this year’s elections, leaving its ultimate fate unclear. With the midterms over, opponents of the rule have quickly turned to pressuring the Postal Service to abandon the restrictions — warning that the Trump-backed rule undermines the USPS’ closely guarded image as outside of partisan politics.
