Postmaster General David Steiner announced Wednesday the U.S. Postal Service will not mlonger deliver Mail-in Ballots in states that refuse to provide sensitive voter data to the federal government.
This new edict is in line with a proposed rule from the Trump administration, The Hill reported.
Steiner spoke at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing where he said it was to ensure that “the right ballots are going to the right people” after Senate Democrats aired concerns about the proposal.
“If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposal rule?” Sen. Gary Peters(D-Mich.), the committee’s top Democrat, asked Steiner.
“Under our proposed regulation, no,” Steiner answered.
Watch:
In March, President Donald Trump issued an executive order which directed the agency to propose a rule requiring states to provide a list to the Postal Service of eligible voters at least 60 days before any federal elections, in line with the president’s efforts to crackdown on possible mail-in voter fraud.
