Will New USPS Rule Impact Your Ballot In November? What To Know As Whistleblower Warns Of Potential ‘Catastrophic Failure’
A whistleblower says the Postal Service is rushing a ballot-delivery system that could block timely mail voting for millions, Sen. Richard Blumenthal said.
- On Tuesday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal released a whistleblower report alleging the United States Postal Service is defying a federal court order by rushing a new mail-in ballot verification system ahead of the 2026 midterms.
- The initiative stems from President Donald Trump's executive order asserting federal control over mail voting, which U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani blocked last week after the agency formally revealed its plan.
- According to the report, USPS is utilizing a "zero percent failure rate" system where one barcode error in a batch of 10,000 ballots triggers total rejection, threatening to disenfranchise millions of American voters.
- Blumenthal told reporters Monday the Postal Service has designed a system to disenfranchise millions of Americans, with one-third of all Americans who vote by mail now at risk.
- With the midterms two months away, the whistleblower contends the agency is scrambling to build in three months a complex system that should require a year or more of development.
