Trump administration swiftly moves ahead on plans to restrict voting by mail in the states
The plan would give states access to citizenship data and add Postal Service limits, as voting rights groups say it could disrupt tens of millions of ballots.
- On June 5, Homeland Security outlined a two-part plan to implement mail-ballot restrictions, allowing states to access citizenship data and monitor ballot flows by June 30.
- President Donald Trump issued the directive on March 31, citing unsubstantiated claims of noncitizen voting to justify new limits despite his own frequent use of mail-in ballots.
- Lawsuits from The NAACP and The League argue the order is unconstitutional, basing their claims on constitutional protections and a 2021 settlement agreement regarding election mail delivery.
- The Postal Service proposed requiring states to submit voter lists, prompting The American Postal Workers Union to denounce the move as an "unconstitutional attack," the union said.
- As a deadline for Postal Service to respond arrives tomorrow, The Trump Administration continues to defend the order's security measures against mounting legal scrutiny.
