24 States To Sue US Postal Service Over Mail-In Ballot Restrictions
The issue of election integrity in the US became contentious, particularly after the 2020 election saw a significant surge in votes for Joe Biden, largely attributed to absentee mail-in ballots. This unusual vote count, the highest ever recorded, led many to suspect irregularities. The author contrasts this with Kamala Harris's 2024 results, where a large deficit sparked claims of a rigged election by Democrats, yet they seemingly dismissed the possibility of the 2020 election being similarly manipulated. The Trump administration has prioritized election integrity, advocating for voter identification and stricter mail-in ballot regulations, including tracking and verification. Democrats oppose these measures, labeling them discriminatory, which the author interprets as a desire to cheat. Trump faces congressional obstacles but is pursuing alternative strategies, such as a March 2026 executive order mandating unique ballot-envelope identifiers for federal elections via the USPS. This order aims to confirm voter citizenship and reduce fraud, though its legality is pending Supreme Court review. Concurrently, multiple states and the District of Columbia are challenging USPS's authority in implementing these tracking requirements. Concerns are raised about Democrats supporting noncitizen voting rights in local elections, as exemplified by the D.C. Council's Noncitizen Voting Act. The author argues that enhanced mail-in ballot tracking is a fundamental, common-sense measure to ensure secure and legitimate voting. The opposition to basic verification, according to the author, reveals the true intentions of certain political groups.
