Briefing Summary
AI-generatedThe American Postal Workers Union (APWU), representing 200,000 members, is launching a national TV ad campaign promoting voting by mail. The campaign begins this week in Ohio and will expand to other states. The ads feature diverse voters explaining their reasons for using mail-in ballots. This initiative comes in response to President Trump's criticism of mail-in voting and his recent executive order seeking to create a national list of verified eligible voters and bar postal workers from sending absentee ballots to those not on the list. The executive order has faced lawsuits and opposition, with the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association arguing it could politicize the Postal Service and undermine confidence in elections.
