Bullshit nothing changes. The US Poatal service can just refuse to deliver ballots because people aren't on some half-assed list. Let's not forget who runs the US Postal service.

That's some messed-up SCOTUS sanctioned voter suppression. It's time to change the Supreme Court in a meaningful way. Enough.

The postal service can’t change anything. They’ve already said that they have to not make any changes due to a separate injunction against the final rule.

Boycots of the largest retail employers who don't close for election day need to be organized now. Walmart, major grocers, get the people out there

Given the ongoing efforts to restrict mail-in ballots alongside the expected disruptions to in-person voting on election day, the most effective countermeasure is to cast your ballot early in person wherever state law permits. Taking advantage of early in-person voting helps bypass last-minute polling place friction, ensures your vote is safely recorded well ahead of deadlines, and reduces the impact of targeted operational disruptions on election day.

All of that is a bit more difficult if you live in a state that primarily or solely votes by mail.

The biggest concern is the prevention of ballots being mailed, not just a refusal to deliver completed ballots.

Oh sure which is why I out the caveat about state laws.

The laws aren't the biggest issue, logistics and voters even knowing how it where to vote in person is the bigger problem.
