上周，唐纳德·特朗普政府向最高法院提出申请，要求允许其强制执行美国邮政总局关于邮寄选票使用的新规则。
议员们敦促美国邮政总局暂停制定新的邮寄投票规则，称这些规则威胁到11月国会选举的公正性。他们援引一名举报人的警告称，美国邮政总局计划中的“核验”系统“有可能导致缺席投票系统崩溃，剥夺数百万美国人的投票权”。
美国邮政总局的新规将引入针对特定选民的数据和选票信封新标准，并可能拒收不符合要求的选票。批评人士称，随着11月3日选举临近，这可能扰乱数千张合法选票的统计。

共和党人正为保住国会控制权展开激烈角逐。批评人士表示，限制邮寄投票将 disproportionately 令共和党受益，因为民主党选民历来更倾向于使用邮寄选票。
根据美国邮政总局的新规则，各州必须向邮政服务机构提供邮寄选票收件人名单，并使用经该局批准的、带有独特条形码的寄出和寄回选票信封。邮政服务机构随后可拒收不符合新标准的选票，或与不在名单上的选民相关的选票。

WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General said on Tuesday it plans to conduct an independent review of allegations from a whistleblower who has warned proposed USPS mail-in voting restrictions could result in thousands of legal ballots being discarded.
On Friday, a federal judge in Boston extended a ban stopping President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing a new USPS rule that would tighten mail-in voting requirements ahead of the November congressional elections.

Last week, President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court to let it enforce the new USPS rule on use of mail-in ballots.
Lawmakers have urged USPS to halt work on new mail-in voting rules, saying they threaten the integrity of the November congressional elections. They cited a whistleblower who warned that USPS’ planned “verification” systems “risk collapsing the absentee ballot system and disenfranchising millions of Americans.”
The USPS regulation would impose new voter-specific data and ballot envelope standards, and potentially refuse the delivery of ballots that do not comply, which critics say could disrupt thousands of legitimate votes as the November 3 vote approaches.

Republicans are locked in a tight battle to retain control of Congress in the elections. Critics say restricting mail-in ballots would disproportionately benefit Republicans given that Democratic voters traditionally have been more likely to use mail-in ballots.
Under the new USPS rule, states must provide lists of mail ballot recipients to the postal service and use agency-approved outbound and return ballot mail envelopes outfitted with unique barcodes. The postal service could then refuse to send out ballots that do not comply with the new standards or are associated with voters who do not appear on the lists.
