Speaker Mike Johnson has pulled a vote on a temporary spending bill that would keep federal agencies and programs funded for six months. It's becoming increasingly clear that the measure lacks the support to pass as a potential partial government shutdown looms. The legislation would require that people registering to vote must provide proof of citizenship. Johnson is signaling he's not backing off linking the two main pillars of the bill. Congress needs to pass a stopgap spending bill before Oct. 1 to avoid a partial government shutdown just weeks before the election.

Election officials across the U.S. are warning that problems with the nation’s mail delivery system threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election. They told the the head of the U.S. Postal Service in a letter Wednesday that it hasn’t fixed persistent deficiencies. Their alarming letter said that during the just-concluded primary season, mailed ballots were returned postmarked on time but received by local election offices days after the deadline to be counted. They also said properly addressed election mail was being returned to them as undeliverable, which could automatically send voters to inactive status through no fault of their own. The Postal Service had no immediate response.

Speaker Johnson pushes ahead on funding bill with proof of citizenship mandate despite dim prospects
House Speaker Mike Johnson is vowing to press ahead with requiring proof of citizenship for new voters as part of a bill to avoid a partial government shutdown. He's doing so even though the measure appears likely to be voted down. Johnson says the issue of election security is too critical to ignore, though research has shown that voting by non-citizens is extremely rare. It’s also clear that Republicans see value in making House Democrats take another vote on the issue. Congress must pass some form of government funding legislation this month to avoid a partial shutdown starting in October.
