That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting. If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections — and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.
Ignoring legal hurdles like ballot harvesting, and ignoring that ballots must be postmarked to be considered valid—which means this whole situation would require the USPS, which is currently cooperating with the administration, to actually go behind their back and organize a system of postmarking then handing them off to a private company for delivery—it’s only possible if UPS or FedEx will accept them.
