Postal Service won't deliver mail ballots for states that don't hand over voter lists, under plan for Trump directive

https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/10/politics/postal-service-deliver-mail-in-ballots


Which means you will not be getting a ballot let alone be able to mail it back. If you’re in a blue state and they refused to bow to the piece of shit, you’ll only be able to vote in person which in some places will be impossible because of the lines or because you have to work etc.

If only some folks had not held their nose and made sure everybody knew they were holding their nose goddamnit🤬

State election officials could soon face a stark choice: Hand over voter lists to the Trump administration or risk losing Postal Service delivery for mail-in ballots

1. Will this survive

A legal challenge?

[yourout]

4. With the most corrupt SCOTUS in history.... It likely will.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Already survived one according to the article.

Any judge that stops it from happening they will appeal that until they get to the Supreme Court and we know what will happen there.

I’ve tried to warn people about the other things are going to do in November like surround minority areas with ICE and instruct every red district and state do not certify any election Republicans lose etc. and now this are you kidding me🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

2. Another lawsuit.................

[dalton99a]

3. Kick

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Kick

If everybody isn’t talking about this by tomorrow I am going to give up.

[KPN]

7. Extrapolating this it's basically taxation without

representation. America has been there before.

8. Eight states currently have mail only voting

California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington – conduct what is commonly referred to as an all-mail election, or universal mail-in voting.

I imagine they will all sue to overturn this and they should win easily. States get to set their own election rules and there’s nothing in the Constitution that says they have to give up the identity of all their voters to the Federal Government.

Finally, how does USPS filter out the mail-in ballots in the first place? Seems like they should carry some legal liability for withholding lawfully posted mail. Not to mention there are numerous ways ballot envelopes could be disguised if necessary.

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. Relying on the Supreme Court or any MAGA judge to do the right thing the patriotic

thing is a problem.

They won’t allow the ballot to be sent to you nor for you to return it by mail.

18. California has both in person and mail-in

I voted in person. About 20% of people do.

[LisaL]

21. So that means 80% of people won't get to vote.

NT

[ITAL]

22. I agree this is dumb

And hopefully it can be stopped. However, perhaps with this much lead time, people will be made aware they need to vote in person. I was just saying that we DO have in person voting apparatus in place, so it's not like the state would be building from nothing.

[LisaL]

25. My state of OH turned all the voter information to Trump already.

But there are blue states that won't, and some of them are only voting by mail.

[ITAL]

27. Only two have zero vote in person

Washington and Oregon have no in-person options. So they're gonna have to scramble to re-invent precincts, etc. if it goes in Trump's favor in the courts. All the others have in-person options, even if most use mail-in currently. So, at least there are the bones in place to run in-person elections.

[LisaL]

29. Even if they have bones in place, it's not easy

to have it all set up in a short period of time.

[moonscape]

34. I don't know how it is

in the rest of California, but here on the Central Coast I have always voted in person, and have never waited more than one minute to vote. We have so many polling places near me. With early in-person voting and the infrastructure in place, my liberal coastal area could accommodate a 5-fold increase. But we’re one of the lucky ones.

[Eliot Rosewater]

36. That would mean instead of 1000 people voting at a particular

Precinct, It’ll be 8 to 10,000, half of them will never be able to end up actually voting or they will give up and just leave. This is insane. 🤬

[ITAL]

39. I mean we do have two weeks of early in person voting

I'd hope it wouldn't be that dire.

[struggle4progress]

9. That seems to deny some folk the equal protection of the laws

[spanone]

10. See you in court, asshole.

[Boo1]

12. TACO

Nothing to even worry about.

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. It's already done.

Pretty sure the article says the USPS is setting it up now, unless it gets before a patriotic judge, this will happen.

And if it gets before a judge who still cares about the Constitution and prevents it from happening they will appeal it to the next court and the next court until they get to you know where, anybody here gonna promise me the Supremes won’t do the unthinkable here?

[Boo1]

17. And then they will fold

When there is pushback.

[LisaL]

23. Yea, lets just ignore all this.

[Boo1]

31. I said not to worry about it

I didnt say to ignore it. And what if I did? Are you personally planning to do something about it? Are you the attorney general of one of these states?

[LAS14]

15. If this doesn't get stopped, maybe there will be a lot more...

... Republican mail-in voters than Democrat. Why does Trump think this will benefit him?

[Eliot Rosewater]

16. Just imagine almost nobody in a blue state being able to vote

It’s the chaos and nightmare that’s coming in November whether they do it this way or another way with surrounding minority areas with ICE and the obvious that nobody is talking about that he will order all red districts and states to not certify any election the Republicans lose.

[31j20b3]

19. I really don;t understand how the delivery of mail depends on a state decision to obey

a Trump mandate

Across my life I have sent and received international mail from places the US didn't maintain a good relationship with. Near the end of my career I maintained professional contacts with Russian biologists for over a decade, despite my colleagues and administrators (in Arkansas) feeling that I was somehow a bad citizen for such.

Free exchange of opinion and information is CENTRAL to the notion of living in a society that is OPEN TO NEW INFORMATION. New information is THE THING that moves American Society toward progressive outcomes.

[LisaL]

20. Trump is ordering it.

NT

[31j20b3]

24. Yes, I should have said I think there is no acceptable logic supporting

Trump's decision to do this

[LisaL]

26. I think their logic is that Trump doesn't want to give up power.

That's all the logic he needs.

[31j20b3]

30. Well, all the logic he needs, misses what the rest of us expect

by at least the range of a longbow at Agincourt (aka Azincourt)

[sheshe2]

32. He also knows he will lose a free and fair election.

[Eliot Rosewater]

38. Thank you, knowing that what do you think that piece of shit and the other pieces of shit

Around him like Bannon and Miller and Kushner are willing to do to not lose power and not go to jail?

I think I know, the unthinkable.

Let’s start with ordering all red states and all red districts in blue states to not certify any election Republicans lose, you know the entire party will obey.

Also let’s send ICE to surround any high minority voting area.

And as we know let’s not let anybody vote by mail.

November is going to be the most chaotic and likely violent month in American history outside of the Civil War.

And practically nobody is gonna talk about this and then it’s just gonna happen.

I remember being cut off when I said the 2024 election was hacked by musk, I remember being laughed at when I said Trump was an actual traitor. Didn’t I understand the meaning of that word etc.🤬

[vapor2]

28. F**K this LOSER

[videohead5]

33. This has to do with states rights

I just don't see how even SCOTUS could let this stand. The people of Oregon could not vote if they allow this. It's interfering with state rights.

[Eliot Rosewater]

37. And yet we all know at least five of the Nazis on the Supreme Court

Will do anything the piece of shit tells them to do. Anything

[LoisB]

35. Isn't this a felony?
