Whistleblower warns Postal Service's new mail ballot system has "potentially catastrophic problems"
The whistleblower says a single barcode error could reject batches of 10,000 ballots and leave millions of voters without mail ballots.
- On Tuesday, an anonymous U.S. Postal Service whistleblower released a disclosure through Senator Richard Blumenthal warning the agency's new mail-ballot verification portal is "rushed" and "potentially catastrophic," risking mass rejection of legitimate votes ahead of the midterms.
- President Donald Trump's March executive order mandated USPS develop a portal to verify voter eligibility, a project the whistleblower claims the agency attempted to build in three months instead of the typical year.
- Under the new "zero-percent failure policy," a single barcode mismatch in a batch of 10,000 ballots causes the entire shipment to be rejected, an "entirely unforgiving" standard that could delay thousands of ballots.
- Last Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani issued a 14-day restraining order against the system, yet the Justice Department is currently appealing, leaving states in significant ambiguity regarding compliance.
- Critics warn the "risky and haphazard" implementation could leave millions of Americans without mail-in ballots by Election Day, according to the whistleblower, who alleges the agency rushed development despite ongoing judicial intervention.
