NAACP says US Postal Service voting plan violates settlement

WASHINGTON - The NAACP said Wednesday a plan by the U.S. Postal Service to require states to provide lists of voters who received mailed ballots violates a 2021 settlement between the agency and the U.S. civil rights group over election mail rules.

The NAACP said in a court filing the proposal establishes that USPS plans "not to deliver certain mail-in ballots, establishing a process that directly violates its obligations under the agreement." The group asked a U.S. judge to quickly get involved, saying the plan could "prevent millions of eligible voters from receiving mail-in ballots to which they are entitled."
