Postmaster General Says USPS Would Withhold Mail Ballots in States That Refuse Voter Data

The United States Postal Service is reviewing a rule that could affect election mail delivery. Postmaster General David Steiner addressed the proposal on Wednesday. He said the rule would permit the agency to withhold delivery of mail ballots. The withholding would apply to states that refuse to hand over voter data. The measure remains a proposal and has not been finalized. If adopted, it could change how absentee ballots are processed in those states. Critics warn it may impact voter access and election integrity. USPS and election officials will monitor the rule's progress and any legal challenges.
