Ballots are not prepaid.
I would guess that this would depend on the state, and the type of ballot (absentee vs mass mail out like in Nevada). But my understanding is many of these “mail out” ballots are postage pre-paid by the various state(s), and that that the USPS does not post mark them.
I think they could easily post mark ballots, but a federal court just ordered them to make no changes. Not sure of the exact details on that court order. Though like Andrew Jackson said, the court issued its ruling let them enforce it. If the USPS decides that to keep a free and fair election they need to post mark the ballots they can do it and nobody can stop them, but their own work force.
