That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting. If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections — and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.

    The executive branch doesn’t run or control the post office. Of course that won’t stop them from trying. Wondering who will bring the first lawsuit.

      You need to catch up on the last decade or so. Dejoy did irreperable damage. Biden blamed inactivity on not being able to intervene with board of governors. Trump does so without reservation of course. New dickhead postmaster general was a FedEx board member who’s tasked with setting the USPS up to fail and force a privatization play… And make the uniforms more “hot” as trump directed.

      Here’s some of the story: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/11/22/twcq-n22.html

      the feds don’t run states’ elections either, even for federal offices.
