Democratic States File New Lawsuit Seeking to Block Trump’s Order Limiting Mail Voting in Midterms
- On Wednesday, Arizona joined 24 other states in a lawsuit challenging new U.S. Postal Service rules for mail-in voting, arguing the regulations unlawfully usurp state authority over elections.
- The Postal Service formally issued its 'final rule' on Friday, amending mailing standards to comply with President Donald Trump's March executive order requiring states to register eligible mail voters and redesign ballot envelopes.
- Attorney General Kris Mayes and other officials contend the rule is 'completely impractical' and unconstitutional, arguing the Constitution vests election oversight with states and Congress, not the president.
- This legal challenge follows a Monday Supreme Court decision clearing a path for the administration's order by ruling that previous efforts were premature, though justices did not address the regulation's legality.
- White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis defended the changes as 'commonsense measures' to secure elections, though officials warn the rules could disenfranchise voters; Arizona is 42 days from early voting, with ballots for overseas citizens going out September 19.
