President Donald Trump\u2019s controversial demands for the Postal Service to overhaul and monitor millions of mail ballots hit another snag on Friday, when North Carolina became the first state in the nation to start sending out ballots for the November election.<\/p>\n

In March, Trump signed the initial executive order<\/a>, which aimed to crack down on mail-in voting \u2014 which he regularly alleges without evidence is a vector for widespread voter fraud \u2014 and assert an unprecedented amount of federal control over the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

Under this order and the subsequent rule drafted by the U.S. Postal Service<\/a>, the USPS would refuse to deliver ballots to states that failed to provide lists of eligible mail voters or did not adhere to an approved envelope design style.<\/p>\n

Since then, the order has faced legal challenges, and it remains paused by a federal judge\u2019s orders. But the Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow<\/a> the new rule to proceed \u2014 something current and former election officials from both parties say would be both a legal nightmare that oversteps the federal government\u2019s traditional role in elections and a logistical one that is happening far too close to the November election to implement even if they agreed with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy the hell are you rocking the boat this late in the game?\u201d said Stephen Richer, a former Republican recorder of Maricopa County, Arizona, who has clashed with Trump allies for defending the security of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

Still, election officials are trying to project a sense of normalcy for voters, particularly in North Carolina, which serves as a test of whether established local election systems can operate normally amid intensifying federal scrutiny.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to emphasize this point because there has been a lot of outside noise: Our county workers are ready,\u201d Sam Hayes, a longtime Republican lawyer in the state and now executive director of the North Carolina State Board of Elections, said in a Thursday afternoon press conference.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cAll we can do is what we\u2019re doing. \u2026 It is business as usual as far as I\u2019m concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the legal challenges, the Trump administration has continued to press the courts to let it proceed. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday<\/a> to lift an order from a Massachusetts judge<\/a> which temporarily prevents the USPS from enforcing their rule. It is the second time<\/a> the Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to step in, after winning an earlier victory in which the high court dismissed an earlier hold on the rule as premature.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe uncertainty is coming from a single activist judge who continues to try and obstruct President Trump from implementing commonsense measures to protect the security of mail-in ballots and ensure only Americans vote in American elections,” White House spokesperson Lauren Bis said in a statement. “These safeguards for mail ballots were proposed months ago giving election officials ample time to prepare for the 2026 election.\u201d<\/p>\n

The USPS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Election officials said that if the rule goes into effect this close to November, it would cause chaos and place added strain on the USPS and election officials. And an anonymous federal whistleblower said in a report circulated earlier this week<\/a> by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) that the USPS was moving forward in a \u201csecretive, rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed process\u201d to try to implement the new system ahead of the midterms.<\/p>\n

In the coming weeks, states across the country will follow North Carolina\u2019s lead. Nine other states will begin mailing ballots in the next two weeks, according to a tracker from the National Conference of State Legislatures<\/a> \u2014 with the biggest day for mailing coming 45 days before the election in mid-September.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be so outrageous to try to let this go into effect. It\u2019s hard to even imagine,\u201d said Ben Hovland, a senior fellow for democracy at the progressive think tank Center for American Progress and former Democratic commissioner with the Election Assistance Commission who was fired by Trump in July.<\/a><\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIt would be a break-glass moment for our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rule would require meticulous changes to ballot handling and tracking practices that Hovland said are impossible to implement before Election Day in about two months, effectively disenfranchising millions of voters.<\/p>\n

\u201cBallots are printed. Envelopes are printed. You can go on and on with all the practical reasons that show that implementing something like this at this time is not feasible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Richer said he doubted the new rules would bring about more security. Even if the USPS received lists from the states, according to the postal service\u2019s final rule, it would not do any additional vetting of the list, Richer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just that the mail ballots have to be on that list, and I don\u2019t see what added value for election integrity that does,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIt creates a lot of administrative burden, and I think it creates a lot more opportunity for error.\u201d<\/p>\n

While a decision looms in the courts, election officials and experts cast doubt on the likelihood of the rules going into effect before November. A more pressing issue, they said, is the confusion and uncertainty surrounding mail-in ballots, which could subvert and change the behaviors of voters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes things seem messy or difficult, and it can dissuade people from participating or coming out to vote,\u201d Hovland said. \u201cIt certainly also helps establish a pretext to make bad faith claims about election results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hovland said that while none of these claims of voter fraud are backed up with facts, they could cause Americans to lose faith in the voting process.<\/p>\n

Still, some current officials contended they were well-prepared for whatever happens \u2014 and that they\u2019d be able to communicate effectively with voters who have become increasingly buffeted by dramatic rhetoric about the once-unmentioned nuts and bolts of actually running an election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s always a lot of noise around elections, that\u2019s not going to change, and it can be hard to differentiate that from what\u2019s actually going on on the ground,\u201d said Jason Tyson, director of external affairs for the North Carolina State Board of Elections.<\/p>\n

As Election Day approaches, Tyson and election officials said they urge voters to check their registration status and make a plan to vote.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI think we\u2019ve got a really well-trained, solid staff who are ready, and who have gone through all of the checks and balances and points of contact that we need to do to get to where we are.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
