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

Washington Attorney General Nick Brown led a coalition of 24 state attorneys general in opposing a proposed USPS rule that would restrict mail-in and absentee ballots for federal elections. The coalition filed a formal comment Thursday asking USPS to withdraw the rule, arguing it violates the Constitution and would create confusion ahead of the 2026 election. A federal judge already struck down a related Trump executive order, but USPS has not rescinded its proposed rule.
