Hello,

This month, the Trump administration instituted a sweeping change to the U.S.
postal system that has seriously impacted vote-by-mail laws.While vote-by-mail
varies across states, most of them allow mail-in ballots to be counted past the
day of the election if they are post-marked before ballots close.

This new USPS update for postmarking mail means that countless ballots
delivered close to Election Day may be thrown out for the upcoming 2026 midterm
elections.

Postmarking used to be defined by the date that a ballot was dropped off at
the mailbox by the sender. However, this new rule defines postmarking by when
the mail facility receives the ballot, creating a potential multi-day
disconnect between when a ballot is sent and when it is processed.

This is one of several steps meant to curb, limit, and ultimately eliminate
vote-by-mail.Two months ago, Karoline Leavitt and President Trump announced
they would ramp up their efforts to dismantle vote-by-mail as a response to
their party's poor performance in recent elections.

The administration continues to attack vote-by-mail through many novel
avenues, including:

* A Supreme Court case, Watson v. Republican National Committee, which is
currently challenging the legality of accepting mail-in ballots past Election
Day.
* The Trump administration announced publicly that it is looking to use an
executive order to directly attack vote-by-mail.
* A website published <[link removed]> by the White House
continues to perpetuate the lie that mail-in ballots played a major role in the
2020 election being stolen.
* Strict voter ID requirements for vote-by-mail ballots and restrictions on
who is eligible to receive mail-in ballots and criminal penalties for ballot
collecting.
* Shorter deadlines on voter registration, and reduced quantities of
dropboxes with restricted hours
These attacks on mail-in voting are part of a larger, coordinated effort to
disenfranchise Americans from their most essential constitutional right.

to find creative solutions that protect your right to vote.
