A leading civil rights group asked a federal court on Wednesday \u200cto block the U.S. Postal Service’s proposed restrictions on mail-in voting, arguing they violate a settlement that required expedited mail-in ballot handling.
The Postal Service last week proposed a rule requiring states to provide lists of voters and adopt new balloting procedures before the mail agency would make deliveries. If states did not comply, the Postal \u200bService would refuse to deliver the ballots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulations stem from U.S. President Donald Trump’s March executive order that aimed to severely \u200brestrict mail-in voting, which he has said, without providing evidence, is prone to fraud.
In its motion before the \u2060District Court for the District of Columbia, rights group the NAACP said the USPS rule would create a process “that directly violates its obligations” under \u200ba 2021 legal settlement which forced USPS officials to prioritize ballot mail and take “extraordinary measures” to ensure its timely delivery.
The group asked a U.S. judge \u200bto issue a ruling by June 22, saying the postal plan could “prevent millions of eligible voters from receiving mail-in ballots to which they are entitled.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“USPS has committed over and over to playing its part in democracy by prioritizing the timely delivery of mail-in ballots,” Samuel Spital, associate director-counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, \u200btold Reuters. “And now for USPS to say we affirmatively will not deliver a ballot at all because it doesn\u2019t meet criteria that we invented \u200bout of whole cloth, not only violates the settlement agreement, but also the historical role of the USPS in our democracy.”
A representative for the Postal Service \u200cdeclined to \u2060comment.
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement on Monday, before the motion was filed, that the “Trump administration will continue lawfully enacting the agenda President Trump was elected to enact – which includes the safety and security of American elections \u2026 The administration remains confident that the executive order will be implemented by the November election, which was always the intent when it was signed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NAACP’s 2020 lawsuit originally challenged new postal policies \u200bthat slowed mail delivery at the \u200bheight of the COVID-19 pandemic \u2060and in the run-up to that fall’s presidential election.
Judge Emmet G. Sullivan held daily, and sometimes explosive, status conferences on the state of mail delivery, installing the court as a type of independent monitor of election \u200bmail. USPS implemented measures, including ballot-expediting procedures and daily facility ballot sweeps, to comply with Sullivan’s orders, \u200band later made them \u2060standard operating procedure during election season.
In 2021, USPS and NAACP settled the case by agreeing to meet in the months before subsequent federal elections and maintaining the “extraordinary measures” for ballot delivery.
Wednesday’s motion says the settlement is “incompatible with a rule under which USPS chooses which mailed ballots to deliver – and which \u2060not to \u200bdeliver.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
