A group of 37 Democratic U.S. senators on Tuesday urged the U.S. Postal Service not to comply with a March 31 executive order issued by President Donald Trump tightening rules on mail‑in voting.
The senators, including Gary Peters, Alex Padilla, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin and Maria Cantwell, said the order illegally seeks to transform USPS “into an election administration agency with the power to determine who can vote by mail and to establish ballot specifications.”
USPS did not immediately comment.
