The Founder of Election Watch Peter Bernegger explains President Trump’s new election-mail Executive Order USPS:
Most people have no idea what President Trump’s new election-mail Executive Order USPS rule actually does.
1. Plain English: it creates a chain-of-custody system for mail ballot envelopes in federal elections.

2. Not the vote, the envelope.
3. Under the proposed USPS rule, states using mail-in or absentee ballots for federal elections would have to use standardized ballot envelopes:
-Official Election Mail logo
-Automation-compatible design
-Unique Intelligent Mail barcode
-USPS review of envelope/barcode placement
4. That means the ballot envelope becomes trackable.
5. States or election mailers would also submit key data through a USPS portal:
-Voter name
-Voter address
-Outbound envelope barcode
-Return envelope barcode
-Originating election office state
