The Trump administration just issued an unprecedented executive order that seeks to transform the U.S. Postal Service into a national election police force. This order, titled “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” directs the USPS to regulate how states send out and track mail-in ballots—a direct assault on the 10th Amendment and the constitutional authority of the states to manage their own elections.
I dive into the legal fallout, citing Justice Scalia’s clear precedent that the federal government cannot prescribe voting qualifications. We’re already seeing lawsuits from groups like the League of Women Voters to block this blatant attempt to chill voter participation and create chaos before November.
The goal here isn’t election integrity; it’s suppression through fear of federal prosecution. Watch the full breakdown above to see why federal judges are likely to step in and halt this unconstitutional power grab.
