The U.S. Postal Service faces renewed calls to drop restrictions ordered by President Donald Trump on mail ballots, setting up a major clash between states and the federal government ahead of the 2028 election. Postal worker unions, civic groups and Democratic secretaries of state are demanding the Postal Service rescind a rule that imposes sweeping new requirements on states if they want ballots delivered through the mail. As part of the rule, states must submit the names of likely mail voters to the federal government. Jonathan Shoreman, States Newsroom.

Election 2026
A look back
By M. Mindy Moretti

What happens if you plan for the worst and the worst doesn’t happen?
While the dust is still settling, that is definitely a question that many elections officials are thinking about as they finish counting ballots, recounting ballots, auditing precincts and certifying the final results.
For months (years) elections officials have braced for everything from federal interference to political violence to “typical” Election Day interruptions like bomb threats or weather. And while there were definitely some of those issues at play on November 3, it was remarkably one of the quietest Election Days we’ve seen in a long time. We didn’t even have any reports of someone oversleeping and failing to open a polling place on time nor, to the best of our knowledge, did any cars crash into polling places last week.
We took a brief look at Election Day last week and of course all of our Election Day Dispatches are here. This week we’re doing a more in-depth wrap-up of Election 2026, but don’t worry, there will still be more to come in the weeks and months ahead, including all those local elections-related ballot measures.
