The US Postal Service (USPS) published a proposed rule to allow the federal government to control who can cast a mail-in or absentee ballot. States would have to send a list of every voter slated to receive a ballot by mail to the USPS.
Public comments are now being accepted on this rule. See link for info on how to send an email with your comment.

@ahimsa_pdx @LJ States would have to send a list of every voters slated to receive a ballot by mail to the USPS?
That would be some list in Washington state since that's every single resident of the state. We don't have polling places, at least not that I know of. We all vote by mail.
Same in Oregon! Oregon has actually had full vote by mail longer than Washington.
And to be clear it's only registered voters, not all residents. It would not include people under 18, non-citizens, people who choose not to register to vote, etc.
Anyway, the rule makes no sense and I believe it's unconstitional. But this regime has done so many things that are unconstitutional that I've lost count.
