Mail-in ballots in a postal bin.

Here is some good news out of the courts.

The Daily Signal is reporting that the Trump administration and the US Postal Service have won a key court fight over mail-in ballot oversight.

For years, Republicans have been demanding answers on how mail-in ballots are handled, tracked, and counted in this country. And for years, the DC establishment and the failed mainstream media told us there was nothing to see here.

Now, a court has handed the Trump administration and the USPS a victory on ballot oversight. This is horrible news for Democrats, who continue to obstruct and block any move by President Trump to secure our elections. Why is that?

The ruling says that states must submit their mail-voter lists at least , and every ballot envelope must carry a uniquely serialized barcode so each ballot is tracked outbound and returned.

Postmaster General David Steiner was asked point-blank whether USPS would carry a state’s ballots without the list: “ , .”

The NAACP sued over this new requirement by the Trump administration – and they lost.

According to The Daily Signal.

The appeals court found the Postal Service made a “strong showing that they will likely succeed” and that the new policy would be “neither constitutionally nor prudentially ripe for review.” The court also said the policy was not affected by the NAACP settlement. Further, the panel found it could cause “irreparable harm” if the Postal Service is unable to finalize and implement the rule before the November midterm elections…

…However, the Trump administration still must clear another hurdle. In a separate lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani on June 25 sided with Democrat-led states that argued the Postal Service rule would interfere with states’ rights to oversee elections. The two lawsuits were argued on different grounds, but Judge Emmet Sullivan’s pause on the USPS rule remains in place.

On March 31, President Donald Trump issued a March executive order that directed his administration, primarily the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, to compile a list of confirmed U.S. citizens from each state who would be legal voters. The DHS was instructed to use federal data ​to help state election officials verify eligible voters. The executive order also directed the U.S. Postal Service to only deliver ballots to voters on each state’s approved mail-in ballot list. The order directed the Postal Service to propose a final rule by Aug. 3.
