NEW: Each election year, USPS takes extra steps to ensure ballots sent through the mail arrive at election offices on time. But this year, the agency has pushed back the start date by five days for a set of new measures, leaving postal workers with a truncated timeline to manage mail ballots.

USPS pushes back measures that ensure mail ballots arrive on time
“The shorter timeframe is noteworthy and I don’t know why they’re doing this,” Steve Hutkins, who writes for Save the Post Office, told Democracy Docket.

There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.

The Trump administration quietly removed an option on a form overseas voters use to request mail ballots, making it harder for some to vote. In a new lawsuit, Democrats say the GOP's goal is to disenfranchise voters viewed as more inclined to vote Democratic: demdock.com/4djBJR1
