However, on May 29, the USPS began fleshing out plans to comply with the order just a day after a federal judge declined to block it, in a lawsuit filed by a coalition of national Democratic Party organizations.

There are several other pending lawsuits against the order, including one filed by a group of state attorneys general where a judge has expressed concerns about the harm it could impose on voters.

On Thursday, the NAACP sued the USPS to stop the implementation of its proposed rule, which requires state election officials to submit lists of voters who’ve requested absentee ballots for eligibility approval. According to the NAACP, that plan violates a court-enforced settlement from 2021 when the USPS agreed to safeguard mail-in voting and prioritize timely ballot delivery through 2028.

On Friday, a U.S. Justice Department court filing revealed that the Department of Homeland Security is exploring coordinating with the USPS to “to monitor mail-in and absentee ballot flows, identify anomalies that may suggest voter fraud or misuse, and generate authorized investigative leads.”
