AG Bonta, AG Campbell, AG Ford, and AG Brown, co-leading a coalition of 24 AGs, filed a comment letter opposing a United States Postal Service proposed rule that would facilitate the president’s efforts to exert greater control over elections and restrict mail-in voting. The coalition urges USPS to withdraw the proposed rule, which would create a centralized list of voter information and result in eligible voters who are not on that list being denied delivery of their ballots, essentially giving the federal government control over elections conducted by mail.

“Mail-in voting is safe, secure, and essential to ensuring participation in our democracy. It is used by Americans of every party and background, including the President himself. The U.S. Constitution assigns responsibility for administering elections primarily to the states, and the proposed rule would unlawfully shift control to the federal government. We urge USPS to withdraw it and protect access to the ballot box.” -AG Bonta
