USPS Mail Voting Rule

On August 26, 2026, a coalition of 25 attorneys general filed a lawsuit against the United States Postal Service (USPS) challenging its new rule that purports to grant USPS the authority to regulate mail voting in elections. We argue that USPS’s rule will prevent states from effectively administering their mail voting programs, putting voters at risk of being disenfranchised. We argue that USPS’s rule violates the Constitution, is inconsistent with USPS’s governing statutes, ignores USPS’s procedural requirements, violates the Privacy Act, and is inconsistent with federal voting rights law.
