Baldwin, Colleagues Demand USPS Abandon Effort to Carry Out Trump’s Illegal Executive Order Restricting Vote by Mail | U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin

Evidence

Executive Order 14399 directed the Postmaster General to initiate USPS rulemaking on mail-in and absentee ballots within 60 days and said USPS shall not transmit ballots unless voters are enrolled on a state-specific list.

This is the underlying order the commitment targets. It shows the administration directed USPS toward the disputed federal election-mail requirements rather than USPS refusing to implement them.

USPS proposed adding DMM 705.24, including a Mail-In and Absentee Participation List, ballot-envelope barcode standards, and noncompliance provisions returning ballot mailings to authorized ballot mailers.

USPS issued the proposed rule instead of withdrawing it. The proposal would create the voter/barcode list and acceptance checks that the commitment says Baldwin should demand USPS abandon.

A federal judge in Boston blocked the administration plan for 23 states and D.C.; the injunction barred steps creating a federal program to control plaintiff states' voter-roll maintenance.

Within the lookback window, a court blocked implementation for plaintiff states. That partially achieved the anti-implementation objective, but the record does not show Baldwin made the demanded USPS request.

Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled that a USPS plan to deny ballots to voters in noncompliant states should not proceed and barred USPS enforcement of the March executive order.

This later lookback-window ruling reportedly extended protection nationwide through a USPS settlement obligation lasting until 2028. It supports partial blocking of the policy, not candidate delivery of the demand or USPS withdrawal.

The promised USPS refusal and withdrawal did not occur: USPS proceeded with the proposed election-mail rule tied to the executive order. Courts later blocked parts of the policy, including enforcement affecting mail-in voting, which partially achieved the anti-implementation objective. The evidence does not show Baldwin herself made the demanded USPS request or materially caused the court outcome, so this is partial rather than delivered.
