The tweet argues that Democratic leaders including Sen. Chuck Schumer, Sen. Alex Padilla, and attorney Marc Elias are overreacting to a new Postal Service rule requiring intelligent mail barcodes on federal ballot envelopes. Schumer called the tracking voter suppression while Padilla claimed it would block tens of millions of legal voters and Elias treated the barcodes as a major threat. The rule applies only when states use the federal mail system for federal ballots and requires the same tracking already used for other mail. It does not change voter rolls or eligibility. Many blue states and progressive officials already use these barcodes and the Brennan Center has noted the practice is common. The tweet states that the intense opposition reveals an interest in avoiding reconciliation between ballots sent and received so accountability remains limited. The reaction from figures long involved in expanding mail voting and challenging verification measures indicates the concern centers on closing gaps in the current system rather than protecting access.
I wonder how it works when ballots are dropped off at 'drop boxes' rather than mailed in?
