On Friday, a three‑judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously paused a lower‑court injunction that had temporarily blocked the USPS from finalising and enforcing the new ballot‑delivery rule.
The rule would permit the Postal Service to withhold delivery of mail‑in and absentee ballots where state officials decline to send certain voter data to federal authorities. In practice, that sets up a confrontation between states determined to guard sensitive voter information and a federal agency now claiming it cannot guarantee accurate ballot delivery without it.
And we already know they don’t change elections after they’re done, even if the district itself is illegal (and was known to be illegal by all parties before the election).
The legal system really has been showing itself to be a farce recently. If you time your crime’s completion well, it’s not a crime in any meaningful way.
