The USPS is under fire as election season heats up, with President Trump pushing for tighter control over mail-in voting and sweeping Postal Service changes raising alarms about ballot delays. While the Postal Service insists it’s committed to secure, timely delivery, a controversial executive order seeks to create a national voter list for mail ballots — sparking legal battles across 20+ states. Courts are split, with one appeals court rejecting a stay, calling the challenge premature. Postal workers’ unions strongly oppose the Postal Service’s role in voter eligibility, warning it’s outside their mandate. States like California and Wisconsin are already grappling with delays — over 148,000 ballots rejected in California’s primary — as mail processing consolidations force ballots to travel hundreds of miles. Some states, including Michigan, now urge voters to hand-deliver ballots to avoid delays. The Postal Service still recommends mailing ballots at least a week early, but the debate over its capacity and role in elections remains a major flashpoint as midterms loom.
