  1. I've been amazed that in none of the discussions of the USPS and mail-in ballots has anyone brought up the "botched" rollout of the ACA website back in 2013. The hysterics about that went on for quite a while. But now Republicans want to do that to the November election?

  9. #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]

  10. She added that the #USPS rule “clashes with #Congress’s statutory scheme, & is #unconstitutional where it intrudes not only on Congress’s #elections clause powers but also that power left to the #states.”

  11. 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.
