Mail in ballot news roundup – 09/11/26

If the Supreme Court clears the way for USPS to implement the Trump administration’s mail-in ballot executive order, the American Postal Workers Union says its members will have little time to prepare for these changes.

The Postal Service’s top executive says the agency stands in the middle of a legal battle over mail-in ballots that is largely out of its control.

The head of the American Postal Workers Union says its frontline employees are being put in a similar situation.

    Let’s be honest: the Postal Service has turned institutional incompetence into policy. It treats a voter’s ballot with the same urgency as third-class mail which is the point.
    The result is a double failure:
    • On Theft: Mail crime surges, drop boxes sit unprotected like open buffets, and the response is a shrug—because real security would require effort and the deployment of the postal police. Two things the Inspection Service oppose.
    • On Bureaucracy: The moment a ballot survives, the Postal Service rejects it over a missing barcode, a misplaced stamp, or a cockamamie rule that Trump invented out of thin air.
    The Postal Service won’t lift a finger to stop criminals from stealing votes, while they discard a legitimate ballot to enforce a technicality.
    Why does Congress allow it?
