WTF is USPS Hiding in its New Mail Ballot Rule?

from Defending Democracy with Marc Elias · host Democracy Docket

Just over 70 days before the midterms, Donald Trump's Postal Service quietly issued a final rule on mail-in voting late Friday night. Buried inside it, USPS compares your mail ballot to cremated human remains and fake explosives. Yes, you read that right. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down how we got here and explains what happens next as the rule heads toward taking effect on August 26 and the fight continues at both the Supreme Court and in Massachusetts federal court.
