— Ted Cruz, presidential declaration speech, Ted Cruz declaration speech: Full transcript, as quoted in Independent.co.uk (23 March 2015).

— Woodrow Wilson, address, Unveiling of the Statue to the Memory of Commodore John Barry, Washington (May 16, 1914).

SCOTUS Ruling on Standing; New USPS Challenges Emerge

The Postal Service has issued a 95-page final rule to tighten mail-in voting, requiring states to share voter data and barcode information and stipulating that ballots be delivered only if states comply with the new standards; the rule could take immediate effect if court injunctions are lifted. Courts have blocked the changes, with injunctions from California, Massachusetts, and Boston delaying implementation ahead of the midterm elections, while President Trump’s March executive order underpins the rule’s aims.
