The U. S. Supreme Court has blocked the U. S. Postal Service (USPS) from enforcing new regulations governing mail-in voting ahead of the November midterm elections. In a brief unsigned order, the Court halted the implementation of rules finalized last month, noting that the government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its position in at least one of the legal challenges against the policy.
Scope of the Blocked Regulations The contested rules sought to establish specific design requirements for mail ballot envelopes, including the mandatory use of unique barcodes. Additionally, the regulations required state and local election officials to upload specific data regarding voters receiving mail ballots into a government-operated portal. The block prevents these requirements from taking effect while multiple legal challenges proceed.
Attorney General Todd Blanche stated on Tuesday that the administration will comply with the ruling, effectively pausing the agency's attempt to mandate these technical changes for the current election cycle.
