WA attorney general leads coalition opposing USPS proposed rule restricting mail-in ballots

Washington Attorney General Nick Brown led 23 other state attorneys general in filing a formal comment Thursday opposing a proposed USPS rule that would restrict mail-in ballot distribution for federal elections. Brown argues the rule is unconstitutional and would force states to overhaul election procedures months before the 2026 general election, risking voter confusion and disenfranchisement. A federal judge already struck down a related Trump executive order, but USPS hasn’t withdrawn its proposed rule.
