\n\t\t\t\t\t\tUncertainty looms over vote-by-mail for the midterm elections in Pennsylvania due to a proposed rule by the Postal Service. Postmaster General David Steiner said at a Senate hearing Wednesday that under the new rule, the Postal Service would not deliver mail-in ballots in states that decline to provide sensitive voter data to the federal government. Pennsylvania is among the states suing the Trump administration over an executive order that seeks to create state-by-state lists of citizens to determine voter eligibility. The order directs the Postal Service not to deliver mail ballots to individuals not included on state lists. The Postal Service said the new rule is intended to comply with the executive order.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
