IMHO. The USPS is supposed to be INDEPENDENT of the federal gov't. The STATES NOT the federal gov't control the election process. Therefore ANY executive order from the President about not mailing ballots out should be INVALID & ignored by USPS.

I have submitted the appropriate comment. I don't expect it will matter. The MAGA toadie in charge of USPS will do as ordered by Fat Donnie unless stopped by the courts.

The post office should not be involved in politics! The Constitution specifically gives Congress the exclusive power to manage the Postal Service, but they abdicated that responsibility years ago. They should take it back now!

i seem to remember using an online comment form for previous proposed rules; this one only allows for emailed comments and snail mail. the added administrative burden looks....suspicious.

Since 2020, Donald Trump has targeted mail-in voting with lies and misinformation. Since regaining the presidency, he has targeted it with unilateral executive action.
