Postmaster General David Steiner is trying to turn the United States Postal Service into a tool for Trump’s voter suppression scheme.

Under the direction of Steiner, the USPS has finalized a rule based on Trump’s executive order attacking vote by mail that would block election ballots from being delivered to anyone not on a “verified citizenship” list created in part by the Department of Homeland Security.

Voting by mail is safe, secure, and easy. This is nothing more than the next play to fan the flames under a false flag of election security. Even the judge who lifted her nationwide injunction after the Supreme Court order lifted another injunction the same week said perhaps the goal of the Trump administration was to sow chaos before the 2026 election.

What’s more, election officials in Texas and Missouri have already found the DHS’s databases are inaccurate and flawed, repeatedly misidentifying people, setting up a system that could block millions of mail-in ballots across the country. That’s right, in Boone County, Missouri, more than half of the voters initially flagged as ineligible turned out to be eligible and Texas election officials have uncovered errors across dozens of counties.

Let’s be clear, they know no credible investigation has ever found widespread voter fraud or illegal voting, but this has never been about election security like the Trump administration claims.

This is just an attempt to use the USPS as a tool to implement a massive voter suppression campaign. That’s why Postmaster General Steiner told Congress in June point-blank that USPS would not deliver any ballot mail in states that refused to provide the voter-level data and verified citizen lists demanded under his proposed rule.

After a Supreme Court decision added new chaos to the ongoing litigation, including on-again off-again injunctions and restraining orders, currently Steiner’s USPS is blocked from moving forward with its plan to implement Trump’s voter suppression scheme – for now. All of this legal uncertainty so close to the 2026 midterm election just strengthens the need for the Board of Governors to act.

The Court did not decide whether the Trump administration’s scheme is constitutional. The Postmaster General does not have a green light. Nevertheless Steiner finalized his rule specifically so if the courts give USPS the opportunity, it can move quickly to implementation of the rule.

The Postal Board of Governors can stop this – but they won’t unless we make them.
