一句话看懂
USPS published a 95-page final rule restricting mail ballots, requiring states to share voter data. The rule faces court injunctions and could affect November midterm elections.
背景
The USPS rule stems from President Trump's March executive order seeking to restrict mail-in voting. It would require states to provide voter data to the federal government before USPS delivers ballots. The rule is currently blocked by court injunctions, but USPS published it anyway, hoping for relief from the courts.
