“If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposal rule?” Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), the committee’s top Democrat, asked Steiner.

“Under our proposed regulation, no,” Steiner replied.

We need to maintain the stance that the rules still exist and matter. They aren't being enforced, but if we hold on to them we can demand they get enforced in the future

    Exactly this. If there's any chance to right this ship, the constitution has to be part of the core of it. Now that old document definitely needs updated, but saying the constitution doesn't matter throws away all defense for the 1st and most important amendment. It's already been trampled on in some states, hence the comments saying the constitution doesn't matter, but conceding on the point of it mattering means conceding the fight.
