Not FOR NOW, once he makes the rules, there is NO JUDGE in the land who can overturn the rules, not even the SC, they first have to appeal to the Postal Board, they can not file a lawsuit. Congress passed that act a while back. So, if it first has to go through a Postal Board hearing, which can take months, they are history, these new rules WILL be in effect for the Mid Term Elections.

You genuinely are psychotic.

I am completely for it. I just wanted to see some more proof that it was a done deal in time for midterms.

NEVER a good idea to put ballots in the hands of an occupation that is overwhelmingly Democrat:

The American Postal Workers Union (APWU) PAC gave about 84.8% of its candidate contributions to Democrats and 15.2% to Republicans in 2019–20

Yes, as long as the rules are not ILLEGAL (of course) but that is a given, the White House lawyers know how to make legal rules.

For instance, the USPS is going to put a tracker on each ballot or ballots will not be accepted (if that is what they do). Well, the states have to follow those rules or else they will be liable for putting forth fake ballots.

The rules of a Federal Entity has to first have comments on line, before it can be challenged by a Postal Board. This is why this ignorant judge tried to knock it down before the rules were ever implimented, she knew it could not be challenged in a court until the USP office hears the case.

Once the rukes are put in, then the courts will say they have no standing.

What is California going to do?

That whole state votes by mail.

This is going to be fun to watch!

At issue are provisions that seek to create a federal list of eligible voters and order the U.S. Postal Service to deliver ballots only to eligible voters.

The justices, divided 6-3, granted an emergency request filed by the government that blocks a Massachusetts-based judge’s ruling from June that prevented key aspects of the executive order from being put into effect this year in California and 22 other states that had challenged it.

The court also granted a similar application filed by Alabama and 11 other states.


quote:

Parts of the same executive order are currently blocked nationwide because of a later ruling issued by the same judge in a different case, but the Supreme Court decision is likely to apply to that ruling too.

That means that the administration may, at least in the short term, be able to implement the executive order.


quote:

“The court’s disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell,” the court said in a the unsigned ruling.

The decision leaves the door open to judges intervening at a later date, especially as regards any restrictions imposed for the coming midterm elections. On Aug. 21, while the case was pending, the Postal Service issued its final regulation that would enforce parts of the executive order.

The decision saw the three liberal justices on the conservative-majority court in dissent.

“Today’s decision does not address whether the President’s attempts to interfere with states’ administration of the November 2026 elections are lawful. Nor does it suggest that the Executive Branch has any constitutional or statutory authority to implement the President’s directives. Instead, today’s decision merely postpones adjudication of those challenges,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote.

The Trump administration told the Supreme Court the new regulations did not go as far as the executive order anticipated, saying the Postal Service “will not refuse to transmit ballots” even if senders are not included on a state list of registered voters.

The Supreme Court decision is in line with one in a related case by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that rejected a separate attempt by Democrats to block the executive order.

I hope I never live to see the day in which we have a woman president. I don’t give a shite if the woman is “conservative” they aren’t fit to be in the political sphere.

1. The state provides a list of the ballots they intend to mail out.

2. USPS assigns a unique barcode to each.

3. When the ballot is mailed out, this barcode is scanned to ensure uniqueness and that it matches. If there is no match or it’s a duplicate, it is not delivered.

4. When the voter mails the ballot back, the USPS scans it again and checks to make sure it matches what went out and isn’t a duplicate. Any ballots that don’t match won’t be delivered.

5. This is all done on the exterior envelope. The USPS isn’t determining eligibility or deciding who gets a ballot. They can’t see the actual votes. They are essentially just ensuring there are no duplicates, that the number mailed in isn’t greater than the number mailed out, and that the person mailing one in was the same person who received them.

This is a common sense solution and is completely reasonable.

Why would anyone oppose it unless their intention is to cheat?

Makes one fraud mechanism more difficult.

But as long as there are drop boxes, won’t stop much.

Blue metros will still count votes for as long as needed until the necessary totals are reached. The end result won’t be auditable, and no one will be allowed to investigate.
