Senators Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters joined Committee Democrats in demanding that USPS immediately halt implementation of President Trump's vote-by-mail executive order and rescind its finalized federal ballot mail rule; the release says the lawmakers also demanded answers on USPS legal authority, verification processes, the Federal Ballot Mail Portal, and compliance with court orders.

The First Circuit denied motions to stay the preliminary injunction against parts of USPS's Ballot Mail for Federal Elections final rule. The order states that the Final Rule was likely unlawful and that allowing it to take effect for the November 3, 2026 election would likely disenfranchise millions of voters, while providing minimal, if any, gains in combating fraud.
Assessments
The promise was an oversight commitment to press USPS, not necessarily to secure final rescission. In the same Senate term, Slotkin joined a formal demand that USPS immediately halt implementation of the vote-by-mail executive order and rescind the federal ballot mail rule. Later court action blocking implementation supports that the issue advanced, though rescission itself was not shown. Because the claimed action was to pressure USPS and she did that directly, the promise counts as delivered.
