Whistleblower Says USPS' Work to Comply with Trump’s Executive Order Is Rushed and Sloppy

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is poised to launch a hastily built, error-riddled computer system that could jeopardize the process of mail voting relied upon by one-third of all voters, according to a whistleblower statement released Tuesday by Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal. The effort is part of the implementation of President Donald Trump’s executive order (EO) limiting mail voting, which has been temporarily halted by a federal judge. The ruling is being appealed by the administration and the directive may ultimately end up back before the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).

The disclosure from the unidentified whistleblower contends that the USPS has been scrambling to try to build a complex system that would normally take a year or more in only three months, sometimes in defiance of the judge’s orders halting work. The goal is to have it ready for use in the midterm elections.

"The Postal Service has designed a system to disenfranchise millions of Americans," Blumenthal told reporters in advance of releasing the whistleblower information. "This administration seems hell-bent on changing the framework on casting ballots in this country clearly for political reasons."
