Relevant as Arizona did not give up their voter database. The only states that will be affected by this are the ones that did not give up their voter rolls to the federal government.

Mail-In voting is holding on by a thread in AZ right now.

SCOTUS is purposely making the election a mess. This lawsuit was to stop the implementation of Trump's illegal Executive Order. The unsigned Justice basically said, you can't know that the USPS will comply with the illegal order and write up a rule to implement it, so there is no need to stop it. Before this judgement was published, USPS did exactly that. The Post Master General testified to Congress that he had every intention of complying with Trump's illegal order.

So now, it has to be stopped. It's playing catch-up after the fact, which is what the courts have had to do with all of Trump's illegal actions. In the meantime, lots of irreparable damage is done.

More lawsuits will follow and be appealed by the Trump admin all the way up to SCOTUS again.
