DOJ lawyers now cast the idea as in the early stages and dependent on approval of a new U.S. Postal Service rule for mail ballots, citing a memo that Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin signed earlier Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Secretary authorized DHS to continue preliminary conversations with USPS concerning potential data-sharing arrangements, and should USPS finalize its rulemaking process, consider working to advance potential coordination to the extent feasible and consistent with applicable law and privacy protections,\u201d the notice says.<\/p>\n<p>Mullin\u2019s memo, the Monday court filing says, \u201cmore accurately reflects the current policy of the Administration with respect to the implementation\u201d of the executive order, reversing a Friday\u00a0 that said Homeland Security \u201ccontemplates\u201d working to \u201cintegrate\u201d the Postal Service\u2019s voter data in an effort to\u00a0monitor the flow of mail ballots and identify possible fraud. Friday\u2019s filing said Homeland Security would use the information to generate investigative leads.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Trump administration swiftly moves ahead on plans to restrict voting by mail in the states<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"oJP2dCN9RK\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"282\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" scrolling=\"no\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/ncnewsline.com\/2026\/06\/09\/repub\/trump-administration-swiftly-moves-ahead-on-plans-to-restrict-voting-by-mail-in-the-states\/embed\/#?secret=N4xviyaCEc#?secret=oJP2dCN9RK\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cTrump administration swiftly moves ahead on plans to restrict voting by mail in the states\u201d \u2014 NC Newsline\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s March 31\u00a0executive order requires states to submit lists of potential mail voters to the Postal Service if they want ballots delivered and directs Homeland Security to compile lists of voting-age citizens in each state. The order faces several lawsuits ahead of the November midterm elections but so far hasn\u2019t been paused by a federal judge.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u00a0signed the executive order amid an ongoing campaign to influence how states administer federal elections. Under the U.S. Constitution, states run elections. While Congress can pass regulations, the president has no unilateral authority over voting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump has long attacked mail voting and has also promoted the idea that noncitizen voting is rampant. In reality, it\u2019s extremely rare.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats and voting rights groups\u00a0say the order represents an unconstitutional attempt by Trump to assert authority over elections. They also argue the order endangers the independence of the Postal Service, which is overseen by a Board of Governors, not the president.<\/p>\n<h4>Running out the clock<\/h4>\n<p>Michael McNulty, the policy director at Issue One, a group focused on protecting American democracy, said the Justice Department\u2019s second notice almost appears to anticipate that a court will block the Postal Service\u2019s new rule, which would require states sending ballots through the mail to provide lists of voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like they definitely walked back the USPS data-sharing language,\u201d McNulty said in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Downplaying the current effect of the rule could be part of a legal strategy to shield the administration from court challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a series of legal challenges, the Trump administration has urged judges not to block the March order because federal officials haven\u2019t taken major action to implement it \u2014 making the lawsuits premature. That argument will become more difficult to maintain as the Postal Service moves forward on the\u00a0new rule for mail ballots and Homeland Security begins to take action.<\/p>\n<p>David Becker, a former Justice Department Voting Rights Section attorney who leads the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation &amp; Research, said that since the beginning of the second Trump administration, the Justice Department has sought to \u201crun the clock out\u201d in legal challenges until it\u2019s too late for courts to act or judicial action would cause chaos.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump and his aides speak publicly about the alleged threat of noncitizen voting, in court the Justice Department seeks to minimize the extent of the actions the federal government has taken to carry out the executive order, Becker indicated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think this is a case of the government trying to have it both ways,\u201d Becker said. \u201cThe government is trying to satisfy an audience of one, the president, while at the same time trying to play this rope-a-dope game with the court so that the court might not rule against them, they might say that a case isn\u2019t ripe yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to questions from States Newsroom, Homeland Security said in an unattributed statement that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, an agency within DHS, is \u201clawfully implementing\u201d the executive order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump has been clear: Nothing is more fundamental than the integrity and security of our elections,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<h4>Quest for voter rolls<\/h4>\n<p>The Trump administration has\u00a0spent the past year attempting to obtain unredacted state voter rolls to feed into a powerful Homeland Security computer program that can identify potential noncitizen voters. The Justice Department has filed\u00a0more than 30 lawsuits seeking to force states and the District of Columbia to turn over the information, but so far none have been successful.<\/p>\n<p>Eight states \u2014 including heavily Democratic California, Oregon and Washington \u2014 have all-mail elections, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. For those states, complying with the executive order would effectively mean turning over the names of all or nearly all their voters to the Postal Service.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/northcarolinamovingjournal.com\/?p=386\">NC property tax moratorium, on collision course with county budgets, heads for final vote<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear if those lists would include voters\u2019 sensitive personal data, like driver\u2019s license and partial Social Security numbers, that the Justice Department has sued to obtain.<\/p>\n<p>In its Monday notice, the Justice Department appeared to suggest Homeland Security had been planning to go beyond the scope of the executive order.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The executive order does not explicitly direct the Postal Service to share voter and mail ballot data with Homeland Security. Instead, it tells the Postal Service to coordinate with the Justice Department on investigations into suspected election crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Data-sharing arrangements between DHS and the Postal Service \u201care not directed\u201d by the order, the Monday notice says. Any future sharing would be contingent upon both the Postal Service\u2019s mail ballot rule and \u201cany policy and legal determinations as to the desirability and feasibility of any such data-sharing\u201d \u2014 in other words, a decision the Trump administration will make later.<\/p>\n<h4>Computer system participation<\/h4>\n<p>The Justice Department had also reported Friday that Homeland Security planned to launch a \u201cState Voter Roll Verification\u201d powered by the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, system \u2014 the computer program that can flag possible noncitizen voters.<\/p>\n<p>The Friday notice said states would be able to upload their voter rolls to SAVE, but Homeland Security already allows states to voluntarily run this information through the program. Some Republican-led states have\u00a0previously used SAVE to scan their voter rolls and it\u2019s unclear how the new verification process would have been different.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the Justice Department reversed itself on that issue as well. DOJ lawyers wrote in the second notice that the executive order \u201cdoes not direct that approach, and the new memorandum no longer includes that discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department\u2019s Monday notice makes clear that Homeland Security still plans to create lists of citizens in each state, as mandated under the executive order. The agency plans to have a way for states to obtain citizenship information from federal agencies by June 30, the notice says.<\/p>\n<p>The executive order also requires Homeland Security to allow individuals to access their citizenship-related records and update or correct them ahead of elections. The Justice Department said Monday that Mullin approved a phased plan for a portal accessible to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s notice, citing Mullin\u2019s memo, says only that those capabilities will be developed and launched later this year after the completion of legal, privacy and technical groundwork. That leaves open the possibility that states will have access to federal citizenship information weeks or months before individual voters will be able to view the same data and call attention to any errors.<\/p>\n<h4>Questions linger<\/h4>\n<p>What prompted Mullin to sign the memo on Monday is unclear. Homeland Security didn\u2019t respond to a request for a copy of the memo.<\/p>\n<p>Early on Monday evening, lawyers for the League of Women Voters\u00a0 in a separate lawsuit challenging Homeland Security\u2019s use of the SAVE system that alerted the judge to the Justice Department\u2019s Friday notice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt remains unclear\u2014from the Implementation Notice or otherwise\u2014what specific legal authority either the USPS or DHS have to share, consolidate, and use data in this way,\u201d the lawyers wrote, referring to the initial data sharing plan between Homeland Security and Postal Service.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department\u00a0 on Tuesday, saying in a court filing that information was \u201cno longer accurate, as of yesterday evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also unclear is what role, if any, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has played in Mullin\u2019s decision to change course. Trump\u2019s executive order charges Lutnick with coordinating implementation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The Commerce Department didn\u2019t respond to States Newsroom\u2019s questions.<\/p>\n<p>Sixteen Democratic senators last week demanded Lutnick halt implementation of the executive order. The letter, led by Sens. Maria Cantwell of Washington, Ben Ray Luj\u00e1n of New Mexico and Alex Padilla of California, urged Lutnick to preserve records related to the development of the order ahead of congressional oversight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVote-by-mail is safe, secure, and convenient, and it has been used successfully across the political spectrum over many election cycles,\u201d the senators wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/northcarolinamovingjournal.com\/?p=384\">NC lawmakers advance foreign land ownership ban despite concerns about scope, funding<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is walking back, for now, a plan to sweep up data on millions of Americans who vote by mail under President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order restricting mail ballots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":389,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
