美国邮政总局局长戴维·施泰纳在周三的一场听证会上对参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会排名最高的民主党议员、密歇根州参议员加里·彼得斯表示，根据拟议的新规，如果某州拒绝向联邦政府提供其缺席选民名单，美国邮政服务局将不会为该州邮寄选举选票。
彼得斯询问施泰纳，根据该提案，美国邮政是否会为“拒绝”向联邦政府提供该州缺席选民名单的州邮寄选票。
“根据我们拟议的规定，不会，”施泰纳说道。

“参议员，这一规定的唯一作用是确保我们将州政府认定要寄出的选票与实际寄出的选票进行匹配，”他说道。
根据提案文本，这项针对联邦选举投票的拟议新规将建立一套流程，要求各州“向邮政服务局通报其将向哪些人邮寄邮寄选票或缺席选票，以及为这些人附在寄出和寄回选票信封上的唯一条形码，以便将选民姓名和条形码纳入邮寄及缺席投票参与名单”。
提案指出，各州“可在州法律规定的最后邮寄选票日期之前，随时添加或修改登记选民名单”，并补充道，“美国邮政服务局将向各州首席选举官员提供最终的州专属邮寄及缺席投票参与名单，汇总该州所有登记选民的姓名，以及与这些选民邮寄选票或缺席选票相关的条形码”。

彼得斯表示，“本届政府将选举收归国有、让联邦政府掌握此类信息的做法，开创了极其危险的先例”。
“我们需要保护选民名册的完整性。我们需要将选举与联邦政府剥离，确保州和地方政府自行管理本州的选举，”他宣称。

U.S. Postmaster General David Steiner indicated to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Ranking Member Gary Peters, D-Mich., during a Wednesday hearing that under a proposed rule, if a state declined to furnish the federal government with its absentee voter list, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) would not mail election ballots in that state.
Peters asked Steiner whether, under the proposal, the USPS would mail ballots from a state that “refuses” to provide the federal government with the state’s absentee voter list.
“Under our proposed regulation, no,” Steiner said.

“All that does, senator, is make sure that we match the ballots that a state believes they’re sending out to what actually gets sent out,” he said.
Part of the proposed rule, which pertains to federal election balloting, would create a process in which states “will notify the Postal Service of the individuals to whom they are mailing a mail-in or absentee ballot, along with the unique barcode applied to the outbound and return ballot mail envelope for such individuals such that the name and barcode of the voter will be included on a Mail-In and Absentee Participation List,” according to the text of the proposal.
The states “may thereafter add to or modify the list of enrollees until the last day that ballots may be mailed out to individuals under state law,” the proposal notes, adding that “the Postal Service will provide to each state’s chief election official a final State-Specific Mail-In and Absentee Participation List for each state compiling the names of all enrolled individuals in such state, along with the barcodes associated with such individuals’ mail-in or absentee ballots.”

Peters said the “effort by this administration to nationalize elections and have the federal government having this information is incredibly dangerous precedent.”
“We need to protect the integrity of the voting rolls. We need to protect the separation of elections from federal government and ensure that our state and local governments are the one administering their own elections,” he declared.
