US Postal Service defends plan to require states to disclose mail voting lists

U.S. Postmaster General David Steiner defended a proposed USPS rule requiring states to provide names and unique barcodes for mailed ballots, saying it would improve matching and efficiency.
All 47 Senate Democrats blasted the plan as unconstitutional and accused the Trump administration of trying to turn USPS into an election agent; critics called Steiner a pawn.
The proposal flows from President Trump’s March executive order to curb mail‑in voting, is already facing legal challenges, and Steiner warned USPS might not deliver ballots from non‑compliant states.
