President Donald Trump’s administration has spent months trying to get voter lists, particularly from blue states. Now, Trump is threatening to deny mailing ballots through the USPS if those states don’t turn over the lists. <\/p>\n

“That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting,” reported CNN. “If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections \u2014 and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.”<\/p>\n

Trump’s rules lay out new demands for mail-in ballots that states must meet if they intend to conduct an election by mail. Some states, like Colorado and seven others, with the District of Columbia, have all-mail elections. Twenty-three states and D.C. have decided to sue over the threat.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department cleared a legal hurdle in May when a federal judge in Washington refused to block Trump\u2019s executive order, allowing the Postal Service to begin enforcing it. Democratic groups are seeking an appeal and warn voters will be disenfranchised in November if mailed-in ballots are banned. <\/p>\n

Democratic Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, whose state is part of the coalition challenging the order in Boston, told CNN in an interview that if courts rule in favor of the Trump administration, it would be \u201ca virtual elimination of mail-in voting, unless the states supply voter lists to the federal government.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf proper postage is paid on a mail piece, the USPS should deliver it,\u201d former USPS Board of Governors Vice Chair Anton Hajjar said, speaking to CNN. \u201cThe proposed rule says it\u2019s not regulating elections but that\u2019s what, in effect, it\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would deny eligible people the right to vote. Full stop,\u201d said Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read, who is also suing the Trump over the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not in the president\u2019s power,\u201d Read said. \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely clear in the Constitution \u2013 states run elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Administration remains confident that the Executive Order will be implemented by the November election, which was always the intent when it was signed,\u201d claimed White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.<\/p>\n
