Government talking point

After courts blocked new Postal Service requirements, Republican posts complain and push the narrative that tougher mail-ballot rules are urgently needed. Extensive studies and state audits show fraudulent voting by mail is exceedingly uncommon, so the push functions mainly to erect barriers that would throw out valid ballots—especially from younger, disabled and minority voters.

Judge Talwani wrote: “Unauthorized by the Elections Clause, the Final Rule clashes with Congress’s statutory scheme, and is unconstitutional where it intrudes not only on Congress’s Elections Clause powers but also that power left to the States.” The role of the states, and of Congress, should be respected. The decision was correct.
