美国邮政署（USPS）于周五发布一项新规，要求各州向该机构提供已领取邮寄选票的选民名单。
这项于6月2日首次提出的美国邮政署新规，旨在与唐纳德·特朗普总统3月31日发布的行政令保持一致。该行政令还要求所有计划通过美国邮政署寄送邮寄选票的州，至少在选举前90天通知该机构，并至少在选举前60天向美国邮政署提交该州计划向其寄送邮寄选票的合格选民名单。
新规内容写道：“任何打算通过美国邮政署接收选民个人邮寄或缺席选票的州，必须确保相关个人已在该州登记，以便纳入该州的邮寄及缺席投票参与名单。”
若要将个人纳入该名单，其所在州必须向美国邮政署提交该个人的姓名和地址，并在寄送给选民的联邦 outbound 选票和返还选票上均加上“唯一序列化智能邮件条形码（IMb）”。

但这项最终敲定的新规，因针对特朗普3月行政令的联邦禁令尚未解除，无法生效。
由前总统巴拉克·奥巴马提名的美国地区法官因德拉·塔尔瓦尼于6月发布了针对该行政令的初步初步禁令，裁定其中两项条款——包括涉及美国邮政署和邮寄选票的条款——违宪。
7月，在马萨诸塞州妇女选民联盟诉特朗普案中支持原告的塔尔瓦尼续签了禁令，禁止美国邮政署实施该新规。

美国邮政署将于8月26日正式发布该新规。若联邦法院解除针对特朗普行政令的禁令，该新规将仅在即将到来的中期选举中生效。
在针对禁令续签的反对意见中，特朗普政府辩称，根据成熟原则，司法审查为时过早，称原告在该法规生效前无法证明其受到任何损害。
美国司法部民权司提交的反对意见写道：“原告无法证明他们因行政部门内部正在进行的政策制定审议而遭受任何具体的特定伤害。相反，他们的担忧仅针对‘政府未来可能采取的行动’。”
美国邮政署局长戴维·施泰纳在6月首次提出该新规时为其辩护，称美国邮政署正在确保“我们将各州认为应寄出的选票与实际寄出的选票进行匹配”。

根据拟议新规，拒绝提供邮寄选民信息的州将无法收到美国邮政署寄送的选票
在最近一次禁令发布后，白宫发言人劳伦·比斯表示：“整个特朗普政府将继续合法推进特朗普总统当选时承诺的议程——其中包括保障美国选举的安全与安保。”

USPS publishes rule to block mail-in ballots from states that don’t provide voter lists
The rule aligns with Trump’s executive order but cannot take effect under an existing federal court injunction

The United States Postal Service (USPS) published a rule Friday that would require states to provide lists of voters who received mail-in ballots to the agency.
The USPS rule, first proposed on June 2, moves to align the agency with President Donald Trump’s March 31 executive order, which, among other things, ordered the agency to mandate that all states that plan to use USPS to send mail-in ballots notify the agency at least 90 days before an election and to send USPS a list of eligible voters the state plans on providing a mail-in ballot to at least 60 days before the election.
“Any state that intends to receive mail-in or absentee ballots from individual voters through the Postal Service must ensure that such individuals have been enrolled with the Postal Service for inclusion on the state’s Mail-In and Absentee Participation List,” the new rule reads.
In order for an individual to be included on the list, their state must submit to the USPS the individual’s name and address and include a “uniquely serialized Intelligent Mail barcode (IMb)” on both the outbound federal ballot and the return ballot sent to the individual.

The finalized rule, however, cannot go into effect under an outstanding federal injunction against Trump’s March executive order.
U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani, who was nominated by former President Barack Obama, issued an initial preliminary injunction against the executive order in June, ruling that two sections – including the section pertaining to USPS and mail-in ballots – were unconstitutional.
In July, siding with the plaintiffs in League of Women Voters of Massachusetts v. Trump, Talwani renewed the injunction, barring the USPS from enacting the rule.

The rule, which USPS will officially publish on Aug. 26, would only take effect for the upcoming midterm elections if a federal court lifted its injunction on Trump’s executive order.
In a filed opposition to the renewal of the injunction, the Trump administration argued that the judicial review was premature under the ripeness doctrine, claiming that the plaintiffs cannot demonstrate any harm from the proposed law until it takes effect.
“Plaintiffs cannot demonstrate they suffer any particularized injury from ongoing policymaking deliberations within the Executive Branch. Instead, their concern is with possible ‘action that the [government] might take in the future,’ the objection, filed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Civil Rights Division, read.
USPS Postmaster General David Steiner defended the rule when it was first proposed in June, arguing that the USPS is making sure “we match the ballots that a state believes they’re sending out to what actually gets sent out.”

USPS WOULDN’T DELIVER BALLOTS IN STATES THAT REFUSE TO FORK OVER MAIL-IN VOTER INFO UNDER PROPOSED RULE
After the most recent injunction was issued, White House spokesperson Lauren Bis said, “The entire Trump Administration will continue lawfully enacting the agenda President Trump was elected to enact – which includes the safety and security of American elections.”
