South Carolina’s attorney general signed onto a letter from 12 states supporting a Trump administration rule change to mailing standards for federal election ballots.
Based on a release from S.C. Attorney General.
Attorney General Alan Wilson announced he has joined a multistate letter supporting a new United States Postal Service rule governing mail-in ballots, according to the S.C. Attorney General’s Office.
The letter follows an executive order President Trump issued March 31, 2026, directing federal agencies to help states safeguard federal elections from fraudulent mail-in and absentee ballots, according to the office. Under that order, the USPS has implemented a rule amending mailing standards for the transmission of mail-in or absentee ballots in federal elections, the office said.
In the letter, the states argue that securing elections is within their role and that increased mail-in voting has led to fraud and overturned elections, according to the office. The states also said the proposed rule would increase confidence in national elections.
“It is the right of every law-abiding adult American citizen to have their voice heard through the election process, but it must be done securely,” Wilson said. “As Attorney General, I support the efforts of President Trump to increase the integrity of our national elections.”
Wilson joined attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas in signing the letter, according to the office.
