Tell Congress: Stop USPS From Holding Mail Ballots Hostage

The Postal Service has one job during elections: deliver the mail.

But right now, Trump is trying to turn USPS into a weapon against mail voting. His administration is pushing new rules that could force states to hand over voter-level mail ballot data — and let USPS block or delay certain ballots before they ever reach election officials.

“This would deny eligible people the right to vote. Full stop,” warned Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read. Congress must fight back to defend our rights before it’s too late.

Tell Congress to hold emergency hearings and stop USPS from interfering with lawful mail ballots.

Mail voting is essential for seniors, disabled voters, rural voters, military families, caregivers, shift workers, and millions of Americans who cannot easily vote in person. Their ballots should not be held hostage by Trump’s anti-voter agenda.

Voters could do everything right — request a ballot, fill it out, send it in on time — and still have their vote trapped because their state refused to surrender private voter data or comply with Trump’s new federal checklist.

The timing makes this even more dangerous. Election officials are already preparing for 2026, and last-minute rule changes could create confusion, delays, and new excuses to reject ballots.

States run elections. Voters choose their leaders. USPS delivers the mail. Trump does not get to rewrite election rules because mail voting threatens him politically.

And once a ballot is blocked, the harm may be impossible to fix. A voter may not find out until it is too late. A close election could be shaped by federal interference instead of the will of the people.

Add your name now and demand Congress act before Trump’s USPS rule blocks lawful ballots.

The petition to Congress reads:

“Hold emergency oversight hearings, demand USPS withdraw any rule that could block or delay lawful mail ballots, stop the forced collection of private voter-level ballot data, and protect every eligible voter’s right to have their ballot delivered and counted.”
