“Of all the dirty tricks”: USPS quietly changed what a postmark means. Voting advocates are alarmed
"...The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) quietly changed what it means for mail to be “postmarked,” a move that could make letters, ballots, and time-sensitive paperwork appear late, even if they were dropped off on time. ...The USPS officially published the rule change on Nov. 24, 2025, and it went into effect on Dec. 24. Previously, as long as you put a properly addressed and stamped letter into your mailbox before pickup, the post office would mark the date of receipt as that day. The new rule states that the postmark can be applied later, such as at the processing facility."

This is Not Good | New Postmark Rules Could Delay Mailed Tax Payments, Dodge County Treasurer Warns
"...A recent U.S. Postal Service rule change means that mail sent more than 50 miles from a regional processing center—like Milwaukee or Minneapolis—won’t be postmarked when it’s dropped off. Instead, it’ll be stamped a day or two later when it reaches the processing facility. That delay could cause problems for taxpayers because Wisconsin law says mailed tax payments are considered on time only if the envelope is postmarked on or before the due date. Treasurer Kris Keith says the safest way to avoid late fees is simple: bring your envelope to the counter and ask for a hand-stamped postmark. ..."
