We again insist that you follow the law, refuse to implement President Trump’s Executive Order, and withdraw this presidentially-directed proposed rule.
Demand that USPS refuse to implement President Trump's executive order restricting vote by mail and withdraw its proposed rule creating federal election-mail requirements and a national absentee voter list.
Occurrences
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.
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.
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.
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.
Assessments
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.
