🚨🚨 Whistle-Blower Says #Trump Officials Are Defying #Court Orders on #MailVoting 🚨🚨 A report detailed “grave concerns” that a new system being rushed into use by the #USPS could imperil millions of #MailBallots ahead of the #midterms. A USPS official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a #CourtOrder blocking those plans. #law #judiciary

‼️‼️‼️ #SCOTUS cleared the way for #Trump to move ahead with his executive order restricting #MailVoting, though it remains unclear how much his admin can implement before the #midterm #elections. The decision appears to leave room for additional court challenges that could further slow Trump’s order. And with some states beginning to send #MailBallots to voters in just a few weeks, time is running short to impose major changes. #law #ActivistCourt #ElectionInterference

Updated #USPS policy says #postmarks might not indicate the first day the Postal Service received the mail, but rather the day it was handled in one of its processing centers. Those centers are increasingly likely to be further away from certain communities because of recent consolidations within the Postal Service, which could further delay postmarks. #law #ElectionLaw #MailBallots #elections #midterms #VoterSuppression

Nearly 150,000 #MailBallots rejected in #California primary despite efforts to count every vote. Lawmakers concerned about #USPS #postmark changes. In January, a group of mostly Democratic US senators sent a letter to the USPS, alarmed that mail-processing changes might affect postmark dates for mail-in ballots during an #election year that will determine control of #Congress. #law #ElectionLaw #VoterSuppression
