2028 Dem hopeful slaps Trump administration with lawsuit over mail-in voting after major SCOTUS victory

With the November midterms approaching, Pennsylvania Gov.

Josh Shapiro is joining attorneys general from 23 states and Washington, D.C., in suing the U.S.

Postal Service (USPS) over a Trump-backed mail-ballot rule that would impose new federal requirements on how states prepare and send mail ballots.

"I’m suing the Trump Administration to stop their unconstitutional attempt to change the rules and restrict mail-in voting.

I’ll remind the President of my track record going up against him in court — and winning — to protect Pennsylvania’s free, fair, safe, and secure elections.

I’m prepared to do so again," Shapiro wrote on X.

"Nothing about voting by mail has changed here in Pennsylvania.

You can still vote safely and securely by mail." "While Donald Trump may try to inject chaos into our elections, the Constitution is clear: the authority to set election rules belongs to the states — not the federal government," he continued.

The two-dozen-state coalition returned to court two days after the Supreme Court stayed an earlier injunction issued by a Massachusetts federal judge against key parts of Trump’s mail-voting executive order, finding the states’ initial challenge premature because USPS had not yet issued a final rule when they filed suit.

TRUMP SCORES SUPREME COURT WIN ON MAIL-IN VOTING RESTRICTIONS BEFORE MIDTERMS "The Supreme Court ruling was a major win for the security of American elections.

Radical Democrats continue to oppose commonsense measures that protect the security of mail-in ballots and ensure only Americans are electing American leaders," White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"The Trump Administration will continue to lawfully enact the agenda President Trump was elected on – which includes the safety and security of our elections." At issue is USPS’s newly finalized "Ballot Mail for Federal Elections" rule, which went into effect last week and was published Wednesday.

It would require state and local election officials to submit information on intended mail-ballot recipients to a USPS portal, where the agency would compile state-specific lists of enrolled mail voters.

It would also require certain mail-in ballot design requirements, such as trackable barcodes, and require officials to submit ballot-envelope designs to USPS for pre-approval.
