Mail-In Voting Battle Heats Up | Portland News

A fierce legal showdown is unfolding over mail-in voting, as President Trump’s executive order threatens to restrict ballots to pre-approved lists — handing control to the U.S. Postal Service. Twenty-three states and voter groups are fighting back, calling it an unconstitutional assault on state election authority. Judge Indira Talwani has repeatedly blocked the order, citing its unworkability and potential to disenfranchise millions. With the Supreme Court still weighing emergency relief, Oregon’s top election officials brace for a press conference to defend their system — while a whistleblower report suggests USPS is already preparing to implement the rules. Legal experts warn this could be the most unprecedented federal interference in elections since the nation’s founding, sparking fears of systemic change — but many still trust the courts will protect the integrity of America’s voting process.
