#Trump Solicitor General Sauer pushed back on Judge Talwani’s assessment in the brief to #SCOTUS, asserting that the #USPS plan fell under the agency’s bounds to adopt rules “as may be necessary in the execution of its functions” & compared the rules for #MailBallots to Postal Service “preparation requirements for the mailing of CREMATED REMAINS & replica EXPLOSIVES.” [seriously]

The trial court judge, Indira Talwani, wrote that the legal challenge to the #USPS plan by Democratic-led states & voter rights organizations was likely to succeed. The groups had argued the plan violated the #Constitution’s #SeparationOfPowers, which gives #states & #Congress responsibility over #elections, not the executive.

A federal judge in Boston ruled for the third time on Friday that the #Trump admin’s plans to restrict #MailVoting are likely #illegal & it should be prevented from implementing them ahead of the #midterms.
Judge Indira Talwani had already temporarily blocked the #USPS from moving forward, in a ruling that was set to expire Sept 10. The new order extends that block indefinitely.

The high court’s decision halts the appeals court ruling while the #Republican committees appeal it.

Four #Democrats, including Sen #JonOssoff of Georgia & former Sen #SherrodBrown of Ohio, challenged the finding in court. They won a victory from a divided panel of the US 4th Circuit Court of appeals.

…The official at the #USPS raised “grave concerns” in the report that the verification process in the system could reject tens of thousands of ballots in a bulk-mailing batch if “even one bar code on one single ballot” failed to properly scan, & that the rushed, “slapdash” development of the system would significantly increase the chance of errors & other failures in the verification process.

Speaking to reporters by phone, Blumenthal said of the report that “the main takeaway for me is that the Postal Service has designed a system to disenfranchise millions of Americans. One-third of all Americans cast their ballots by mail, & the #USPS puts all of their votes at risk.”

“Potentially millions of American voters may not receive their mail-in ballot this election cycle in a timely manner, or at all,” the official said in the report, which was prepared with the assistance of Whistleblower Aid, a nonprofit group that represents people seeking to expose potential lawbreaking.

Updated #USPS policy says #postmarks might not indicate the first day the Postal Service received the mail, but rather the day it was handled in one of its processing centers. Those centers are increasingly likely to be further away from certain communities because of recent consolidations within the Postal Service, which could further delay postmarks.

Nearly 150,000 #MailBallots rejected in #California primary despite efforts to count every vote.
Lawmakers concerned about #USPS #postmark changes.
In January, a group of mostly Democratic US senators sent a letter to the USPS, alarmed that mail-processing changes might affect postmark dates for mail-in ballots during an #election year that will determine control of #Congress.
