California Challenges Postal Voting Rules | California News

California is fighting back against new federal mail-in voting rules, with Attorney General Rob Bonta leading a lawsuit that argues the U.S. Postal Service overstepped its authority. The rules—mandating shared voter lists, approval for ballot envelopes, and special tracking barcodes—follow a Supreme Court ruling that previously blocked similar executive orders, but now the finalized rules give states a fresh legal ground to challenge. California and other Democratic-led states assert that election procedures are constitutionally reserved to the states, warning these changes could undermine the popular mail-in system, especially in California where 89% of voters used it last primary. Despite the President’s own use of mail ballots, critics say he shouldn’t dictate election logistics. The outcome remains uncertain as states brace for legal showdowns over federal overreach.
