USPS to move forward with major mail-in voting change: ‘A win for election integrity’
The US Postal Service has been allowed to move forward with a proposed election-mail rule that requires states to provide voter lists and serialized ballot barcodes before federal ballots are mailed. This decision is seen as a win for election integrity and could have significant implications for states like California. The ruling does not resolve the underlying lawsuit but temporarily allows the Postal Service to proceed with the proposal while the case is reviewed.
