The Constitutional Crisis in an Envelope: Defending State Sovereignty and the Postal Service from Executive Overreach

The Trump administration, defending its executive order restricting mail-in voting, has argued in court that lawsuits are premature as federal agencies have yet to implement the directive, which critics denounce as unconstitutional.

This chilling federal overreach directly assaults the constitutional bedrock of state-administered elections and represents a brazen, authoritarian attempt to sow confusion and control the sacred process of voting.
