AG Bonta, AG Campbell, AG Ford, and AG Brown co-led a coalition of 20 AGs in securing a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to leave in place a lower court order blocking USPS from implementing sweeping changes to mail voting for the fast-approaching November midterm elections. The changes, which were mandated by President Trump’s second elections-related Executive Order, would have required state and local election officials to redesign and reprint ballot envelopes, enroll millions of voters in a new and untested USPS system, and meet burdensome requirements to would allow USPS to refuse to deliver mail ballots that do not comply.

“After losing in the district and appellate courts, the Trump Administration has now lost at the U.S. Supreme Court. Today’s decision is a victory for our democracy and a powerful affirmation of the rule of law. The stakes in this litigation could not have been higher. Voting is the fundamental right from which all other rights flow, and all 50 states allow ballots to be cast by mail in some form. […] We will remain vigilant in safeguarding our elections, and we urge every eligible voter to make their voice heard.” – AG Bonta
