Whistleblower says USPS is moving forward on Trump's mail‑voting order

cultureSep 1, 2026597,854

A U.S. Postal Service whistleblower alleges the USPS is secretly rushing to implement President Donald Trump’s executive order to assert federal control over mail voting despite a court order blocking that plan. The complaint says USPS developers fast-tracked an electronic ballot-screening portal they call “fundamentally flawed” and continued work after the court block, raising “grave concerns” that the system could cause mass ballot delays, rejections, and disenfranchisement ahead of the midterms. Voting-rights groups have submitted the whistleblower disclosure to a federal court in Massachusetts as part of litigation seeking a preliminary injunction. Senator Richard Blumenthal has asked the Postmaster General for documents and answers about the whistleblower’s claims. The USPS said it is “carefully reviewing” the concerns raised in the complaint. Advocates and election groups warn the alleged secretive, rushed effort could imperil millions of mail ballots if the system is used this fall.

A USPS whistleblower is blowing the lid off the incompetent “shitshow” in the agency’s new federal ballot portal as @blumenthal.senate.gov demands answers from the Postmaster General for this potential election catastrophe. What will happen in November? The latest here: youtu.be/7pS-R9hHlr0?...

Markwayne Mullin says ICE agents could be deployed “if there is a threat to that polling place or we’re serving a warrant.” Let me guess, they’re going to call in threats themselves and go intimidate people. They’re making mail-in voting unreliable and in-person voting dangerous.
