A bombshell whistleblower report warns of serious flaws in the rush by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to implement President Donald Trump’s anti-mail voting order before November, including the potential for thousands of ballots to be rejected due to a single error.
“As presently designed, if even one bar code on one single ballot in a bulk-mailing of 10,000 ballots fails to properly scan during the verification process, the entire batch is rejected and sent back to the state – effectively stopping the ballots from being mailed to voters,” reads the report, which was made public Tuesday by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).
It goes on to outline in detail how large numbers of voters could be disenfranchised, describing the USPS process as “entirely unforgiving.”
The report describes the whistleblower’s account as a “compelling warning of catastrophic failure which could derail the midterm elections.”
The report contends USPS has been secretly scrambling to build “new and untested” systems that under normal circumstances would take nine months to a year, or even more.
That has led to major problems with the systems’ technology, the whistleblower alleges.
“In the final days before the planned September 1 launch date, the Whistleblower is aware of multiple USPS officials describing the election ballot mail IT system development process as ‘a shit show,’” the report asserts.
