📬 Return to Sender: David Steiner. The postmaster general said USPS would refuse to deliver mail ballots in any state that won't hand over its voter lists to the Trump administration. But, as Senator Gary Peters points out, the Constitution is clear: states run elections — not the feds.

Postmaster General David Steiner told a Senate committee Wednesday that, if a proposed rule is adopted, the U.S. Postal Service would withhold mail ballots from states that do not hand over to the federal government lists of people who have requested absentee or mail ballots. Sen. Gary Peters, the top Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, asked Steiner if the Postal Service would deliver ballots to a state's voters if that state refuses to turn over its absentee voter roll. "Under our proposed regulation? No," Steiner said, adding that the Postal Service would "tell the state that we need the manifest." The proposed USPS rule will ask states to provide the agency with a list of people who have requested a mail-in or absentee ballot for an election. "This provision will help determine adherence to federal law and facilitate law enforcement efforts," the proposed rule states. The proposal cites President Donald Trump's March executive order that seeks to tighten mail voting rules and create eligible voter lists, even though the Constitution explicitly grants states the authority to run elections, while Congress has a limited oversight role in adopting election regulations. Despite the president's own use of mail ballots in past elections, he has called the voting method "cheating."

BREAKING: Trump's Postmaster General just admitted that the USPS won't send mail ballots this fall to anyone in states that do not give the administration their private voter list — this is part of a larger effort to enact mass voter purges and suppression.

PETERS: Yes or no, if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule? POSTMASTER GENERAL STEINER: No. PETERS: So the proposed rule basically coerces states to hand over their absentee voter rolls or face the consequences of not being able to vote by mail

US Postmaster General David Steiner says the USPS could be out of money to pay employees by October 2026. Yes, you read that correctly- One month before the midterm elections when mail-in ballots are sent and returned. Steiner was backed by Trump and replaced DeJoy in May 2025.

#BREAKING: Hayes: “According to the NYTimes, the USPS has proposed a new rule that would allow it to REFUSE to deliver mail ballots in states that don’t turn over voter rolls to the federal government. That vaguely written rule released last week calls on states to compile lists of mail voters that postal service employees would use to screen ballots for eligibility. And if states refuse to comply, the post office could refuse to send their mail ballots. Can you imagine postal workers deputized by the Trump administration just refusing to deliver mail ballots to Californians? What about states that comply? Imagine postal workers at some place reviewing a state’s voter roll to determine who can vote and who can’t? Its unconstitutional, its chaotic, It’s maybe the wildest attempt yet to interfere in free and fair elections, short of course, of using federal agents to criminally investigate voting rights activists, to raid their office, maybe even perp walk them in for charges. That of course has been a classic old school tactic of election-rigging autocrats for generations around the world.” 😳

Trump's Postmaster General Just Made a MASSIVE Announcement Ahead of the Midterms To Prevent Democrat Voter Fraud... The U.S. Postal Service WILL NOT Deliver Mail-In Ballots to states who refuse to comply with Trump’s Executive Order requiring them to provide lists of voters to ensure they are U.S. citizens. We've had enough with mass mail-in ballots coming in at 3am in Democrat cities after election day. It's time to secure our elections.

USPS JUST FLIPPED THE SCRIPT ON MAIL-IN VOTING, which comes straight from Trump's March executive order to secure elections. States must hand over their full mail-in & absentee voter lists, plus every ballot's personalized barcode, or risk the USPS STOPPING delivery entirely.

🚨 POSTMASTER GENERAL ENFORCING TRUMP’S ELECTION INTEGRITY ORDER! Big development: The Postmaster General just announced the USPS will NOT deliver mail-in ballots to states that refuse to comply with President Trump’s executive order and provide lists of eligible voters. Dems are screaming and suing, claiming it’s “unacceptable” and turns the Postal Service into a “ballot verification agency.” President Trump and the SAVE Act are focused on stopping fraud ahead of the midterms. No more blank-check mail-in chaos without basic safeguards. This is common-sense election security, verify voters, secure the ballot box. The left hates it because it works. Time to clean up our elections once and for all!

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “Today the Trump administration lost in federal court in New Hampshire. Trump has been trying to force that state to hand over its voter rolls to the federal government. The Trump administration has not only demanded that states hand over their voter rolls, it has sued the states to try to force them to comply. The Trump administration has sued more than two dozen states to try to force their voter rolls out of them. As of today there have been verdicts in 11 of those cases and as of today the Trump administration is 0-11 in those cases. With today’s loss in NH that means they have lost 11 straight, they have lost ALL of them thus far, and that means the states will not be forced to hand over their voters information to a president who says he doesn’t believe that American election results are real.” 😳

Trump's Executive Order on USPS & Mail-In Ballots could finally end rigged elections in California & beyond, regulating mail-in voting at the federal level. The EO puts states on the hook to accompany a list of the eligible voters that are going to vote federally and who they're going to provide mail-in ballots to and also adds a unique intelligent mail barcode for tracking. Trump's March 31, 2026 EO directs the Postmaster General to start proposed rulemaking within 60 days to create uniform national standards for mail-in and absentee ballots. Ballot envelope must be marked "Official Election Mail" with USPS-approved logo/markings. Must be automation-compatible with a unique Intelligent Mail barcode for tracking. Must pass USPS envelope design review for compliance. States must notify USPS at least 90 days before a federal election if they plan to use mail-in/absentee ballots via USPS. States must submit a list of eligible voters at least 60 days before the election. USPS shall not transmit mail-in or absentee ballots to anyone not on a State-specific list. USPS must create and maintain a "Mail-In and Absentee Participation List" for each state. Providing states with lists of enrolled individuals with unique barcode identifiers. All processes must comply with the Privacy Act. Final rule must be issued no later than 120 days from the EO date. This is a HUGE win for election integrity.
