Trump's mail-in voting proposal faces legal challenges over federal election control

A proposed rule from the Trump administration could significantly alter how mail-in voting is handled in the United States, potentially giving the federal government more control over state elections. This policy would require the U.S. Postal Service to review mail-ballot envelopes for federal compliance and mandate the use of a new Federal Ballot Mail Portal for voter information submission. Voting rights groups argue this system is unworkable, could disenfranchise voters, and undermine confidence in election integrity, leading to multiple legal challenges seeking to block its implementation.
