Biloxi Gulfport, MS, September 18, 2026 — The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has ceased development on a specific computer system, a component that was integral to an initiative by former President Donald Trump intended to restrict mail-in voting.
The decision to halt development was confirmed by Postmaster General David Steiner. The work stoppage occurred following a court injunction. This injunction was issued after the Supreme Court rejected the executive order associated with the initiative.
The summary did not provide specific details regarding the name of the computer system, the exact timeline of its development, or the precise nature of the court injunction beyond its connection to the Supreme Court’s decision. The amount of resources allocated or the status of personnel involved in the development was also not provided.
Postmaster General Steiner’s confirmation indicates a definitive end to the project’s advancement. The executive order that underpinned this effort was previously invalidated, leading to the subsequent legal and operational actions taken by the U.S. Postal Service.
