An anonymous whistleblower at the U.S. Postal Service submitted a report to Senator Richard Blumenthal regarding the agency's new rule for mail-in voting. ^[1] The whistleblower warned that the new system's barcode verification process could result in a catastrophic failure where even one error in a batch of 10,000 ballots causes the entire batch to be rejected. ^[2] A whistleblower told Congress that a new system to screen mail-in ballots for the November US midterm elections was thrown together hastily and tested so little that a single scanning glitch could see entire batches of ballots turned away. ^[3] According to the whistleblower's disclosure, the system runs on a 'zero percent failure rate' policy where one mismatched scan rejects the entire batch, even if it holds tens of thousands of ballots. ^[4] A whistleblower warned Congress that the United States Postal Service is moving ahead with a new system to enforce President Donald Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting. ^[5] An unnamed USPS whistleblower reported to Democratic U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal that the agency defied a court order to develop a new mail-in ballot verification system. ^[6] The whistleblower predicted the new system could cause 'foreseeable catastrophic disruption to our coming nationwide elections' due to its reckless development and insufficient testing. ^[7] The U.S. Postal Service is issuing its ninth Hanukkah stamp to honor the eight-day Jewish holiday observed by millions. ^[8] An anonymous US Postal Service whistleblower warned that a new federal system ordered by President Donald Trump could prevent millions of Americans from receiving mail ballots ahead of the November midterm elections. ^[9] The official stated that potentially millions of American voters may not receive their mail-in ballot this election cycle in a timely manner, or at all, due to the sloppy and rushed manner in which the systems are being built. ^[10] Attorneys from Whistleblower Aid wrote that the sloppy and rushed manner of building the Federal Ballot Mail Portal poses significant risk, potentially preventing millions of voters from receiving ballots. ^[11] Senator Blumenthal stated that the account received made clear the US Postal Service lacks the technical or operational capability to roll out the system safely before ballots go out to voters. ^[12]
