Last week, a federal judge blocked Trump's new mail ballot rules.
She didn't mince words. She called the timeline "practically impossible," pointing out that states have neither the time nor the money to redesign ballot envelopes, retrain election officials, and build new verification systems before November 3rd. Some states start mailing ballots this week.
Trump's Justice Department just asked the Supreme Court to overrule her anyway.
They lost in court. So now they're trying to go over the judge's head, days before ballots go out, to force through a rule that election officials say is simply impossible to comply with in time.
We told you about the whistleblower who said this same system was built with a "zero-percent failure policy," a design so unforgiving that officials warned catastrophic failure wasn't a risk, it was the plan. This is what happens when a plan like that gets blocked. They don't fix it. They ask a higher court to let them run it anyway.
Election officials aren't bluffing about the timeline. Vendors can't even print the redesigned envelopes fast enough. If this rule takes effect now, ballots don't get delayed. They don't get delivered at all.
The Trump administration just asked the Supreme Court to force through mail ballot rules a federal judge already called "practically impossible" to meet, with ballots set to go out this week.
This is exactly why Building Blue exists to fight everywhere the rules of the game are under attack, not just where the cameras are pointed. A Supreme Court fight over mail ballots decides whether millions of Americans get to vote at all, in every one of our races, from the top of the ticket to the school board seat nobody's watching.
Every dollar you give today helps us keep fighting this, in every county and every state, before a single ballot gets lost to a rule nobody can actually follow. Please, help us make sure they lose again.
