Postal Service Cancels Voting Meeting

The U.S. Postal Service canceled a last-minute meeting with Washington lawmakers over new mail-in voting rules, sparking outrage as states scramble to protect voter access amid federal overreach. Critics warn the rushed changes—requiring states to share voter lists and standardize ballot envelopes—could confuse voters before November. Washington’s Secretary of State called it an “unnecessary rule” that infringes on state authority, especially after a March executive order threatens penalties for noncompliance. Meanwhile, a pending Supreme Court case could reshape ballot counting rules, and Washington battles a Justice Department lawsuit over voter rolls, with a federal judge recently blocking a Trump-era noncitizen voter database over privacy concerns. Public comments on the Postal Service’s proposal close July 2, with a final rule expected by month’s end—amid escalating tension between state autonomy and federal election oversight.
