An anonymous whistleblower disclosure alleging that the Postal Service rushed a new ballot-verification system drew attention from Democrats on Tuesday, hours before a key deadline in the Trump administration’s mail-in ballot executive order legal battle.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) released the complaint as the administration sought emergency relief from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit to lift U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani’s 14-day block on the rule. The 1st Circuit ordered the plaintiffs challenging the rule to respond by 5 p.m. Tuesday, ahead of Talwani’s Thursday hearing on whether to impose a longer preliminary injunction.
The disclosure, furnished by the nonprofit group Whistleblower Aid, claimed that the Postal Service built its Federal Ballot Mail Portal under an unrealistic timetable, failed to test it adequately, and could delay large ballot mailings. The portal is a new system created for election officials to submit voter and ballot-envelope information for USPS verification.
