Postal Ballot Rule Sparks Election Alarm

Senator Gary Peters warns a new Postal Service regulation could prevent absentee ballots from being mailed if states don’t share their voter lists — calling it a dangerous “power grab” by the Trump administration. The plan, rooted in a March executive order, would require states to provide voter rolls so ballots can be secured with barcodes. Postmaster General David Steiner insists it’s not final and is meant to enhance mail security — though critics, including Senator Elissa Slotkin, see it as part of a broader effort to undermine election integrity. A federal judge recently blocked the order’s implementation, but Steiner says the Postal Service will follow whatever rules are in place — potentially affecting November’s elections.
