This rule would effectively give the Trump admin control over who receives ballots and who doesn’t.
We do not have to imagine how Trump uses this power. Live in a heavily Democratic area? No ballot. Have a name that sounds Black or Hispanic? No ballot. They are not hiding what this is. It is a purge designed to look like election administration.
And that last part is particularly important. If you’ve been following our work, you know that in the Constitution, states have the responsibility for how elections are administered, not the federal government. This move by the USPS would give the Trump admin unprecedented power over elections and it is cartoonishly unconstitutional.
But legal challenges to this rule will likely make their way up to the Supreme Court. And that’s where it gets scary—we have seen how this court has ruled lately. They have exposed themselves as complete and total puppets for Trump and MAGA extremists, willing to reverse nearly a half-century of legal precedent to tilt elections in their favor.
This is exactly why Defend Our Courts exists. We are fighting on two fronts: building a firewall of state Supreme Courts that can protect free and fair elections at the state level, and building the movement to reform a federal court that has made itself an arm of the Trump administration.
We need every Democrat who understands what is at stake to stand with us. Can we count on you to rush a donation of $50, $25, or whatever you can spare to help us fight for free and fair elections?
