Attorney General James Blocks Unlawful USPS Mail-In Voting Rule

NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after a federal judge granted her motion for a temporary restraining order pausing the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) new mail-in voting rule:  

“This rule is a clear attempt by the federal government to interfere in elections it has no power to control. Today, a federal court halted it before this administration could wreak havoc on our elections. 

“The USPS does not have the authority to decide who can and cannot vote by mail. My office will keep fighting to ensure this rule cannot disrupt our midterm elections.”
