The order would use federal databases to create national lists of approved absentee voters and establish rules for the Postal Service regarding how they can deliver mail-in ballots. Critics argue this is an attempt to nationalize elections, which will disenfranchise legal voters and potentially disenfranchise 48 million. The order would require each state to provide each other with a list of individuals "enrolled" in the USPS system, only to be delivered to individuals on this national list. The decision to overturn the order is being challenged by civil rights groups who argue it would negatively impact the 48 million potential voters.
