Postal Service work to comply with Trump’s executive order is rushed, sloppy, whistleblower contends
The U.S. Postal Service is set to deploy a hastily assembled, error-prone computer system for mail voting, risking the voting process for one-third of voters, according to a whistleblower statement from Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal. The system, rushed into development in just three months, sometimes defying a federal judge's orders to halt work, is intended to be ready for use in the upcoming midterm elections.
A single scanning mistake in tens of thousands of ballot envelopes could prevent any from reaching voters. Whistleblower and Sen. Blumenthal assert this system could disenfranchise millions of Americans.
