President Donald Trump has long foreshadowed an intended power grab to avoid losing control of Congress in the 2026 midterms, one that he will implement in part by restricting mail-in voting through the Postal Service. Now, a new report reveals that voters are fighting back against Trump\u2019s war on mail-in voting. <\/p>\n

\u201cA coalition of pro-voting organizations is asking a federal court to stop the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from finalizing a rule restricting mail-in voting this week,\u201d reported Democracy Docket’s Brentin Mock on Sunday. \u201cOn Saturday night, the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts (LWVMA) and other civic and civil rights organizations filed an emergency motion to have a U.S. District Court enforce its injunction against the USPS\u2019s plans to execute part of President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order against mail voting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mock added, \u201cThe postal service announced a final rule Friday night to implement those plans, stating they will immediately go into effect should that injunction \u2014 and another currently blocking it \u2014 be lifted by the U.S. Supreme Court. However, on Aug. 11, U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the postal service needed to cease those plans, including any measures involving \u2018refusing to transmit mail-in or absentee ballots; or otherwise initiating or completing rulemaking to promulgate the specific regulations outlined in\u2019 Trump\u2019s executive order.\u201d<\/p>\n

The journalist further pointed out that \u201cthe USPS\u2019s Friday night announcement, which will be officially published on Aug. 26, is the agency\u2019s promulgation of that rule, with a retroactively listed effective date of Aug. 21. The postal service said it needed to date it as such to ensure it could be rolled out in time for November\u2019s midterm elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaker to AlterNet in June, Susannah Goodman, Policy Director in the Voting and Fair Representation Program for the nonprofit Common Cause \u2014 said that some of Trump\u2019s attempts to meddle in the midterms could be illegal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other thing is that, as you well know, the administration has been trying to compel states to turn their voter rolls over to the federal government and to consolidate all of that in a mega database,\u201d Goodman told AlterNet. \u201cA number of states have refused to turn over their unredacted voter rolls with personal identifying information \u2014 Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, et cetera. Common Cause and our partners have intervened in, I think, 17 of those cases on behalf of voters.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that there has not been a single case \u201cwhen the state has resisted and claimed they are not going to turn these voter rolls over, the court has dismissed the case or compelled the states to turn them over. The government has not had a compelling reason, and the states have won. So when states fight back, they win. We have been involved in that litigation. That is another huge power grab by the administration. It is also an illegal power grab, and when we have pushed back, we have won.\u201d<\/p>\n
