“The Postal Service’s authority to reject mailpieces is defined by statute,” one suit argues, meaning Mr. Trump lacks the power to halt unapproved ballots. The order does indicate, though, that Mr. Trump sees profit in continuing to talk election nonsense. Mr. Trump’s order tells regulators to devise procedures for states to “routinely supplement and provide suggested modifications or amendments” to the USPS’s voter list. Mr. Trump speaks as if voting by noncitizens is so common that democracy is hanging by its fingernails, yet real investigations keep finding otherwise. Still, this is far from the kind of coordinated mass fraud that Mr. Trump conjures in the MAGA mind.
