This represents a hard blow to the aspirations of the Democratic Party, which has always used mass mail-in voting as an electoral weapon

During his testimony this Wednesday before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Postmaster General of the United States, David Steiner, confirmed that the Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail-in ballots or absentee ballots in those states that do not comply with the Executive Order on electoral integrity issued by President Donald Trump.
Last March, Trump signed a historic decree ordering the Postmaster General to establish strict regulations for the mailing of electoral correspondence. This document requires state governments to submit detailed lists with the names of registered voters, their addresses, and a unique barcode at least 60 days prior to federal elections, thus allowing the USPS to verify and track the ballots.
States that refuse to provide these electoral security records will simply not have USPS delivery service. This measure aims to put an end to the mass mailing of ballots that are impossible to track, a mechanism that Democrats used as an electoral weapon in 2020 and beyond.

Democrats in panic over this measure
As expected, the Democratic Party strongly opposed the measure. 49 of its senators signed a letter demanding that Steiner repeal the regulation or ignore Trump's decree. The opposition has gone into a panic, as the new rule directly threatens the structure of universal mail-in voting they implemented in their electoral strongholds, which was prone to fraud.
Opponents argue that the regulation is an "unconstitutional overreach" and a "covert way to influence the elections." They promised to take their complaint to court in the hope that a judge's ruling will compel the USPS to restore the mass distribution of ballots in time for the midterm elections in November.
In reality, the disputed regulation - which was published in early June and directly derived from Trump's decree - makes the Postal Service cease to be a mere carrier of electoral correspondence and becomes an active enforcer of electoral integrity, preventing the system from being flooded with ballots intended for people who never requested them.
