This isn’t good folks. According to a new whistleblower report received by Senator Richard Blumenthal, the United States Postal Service has been working for months to implement President Trump’s executive order aimed at restricting mail-in voting, using “untested” technology that has been hastily developed. The whistleblower claims that if implemented, the new USPS system as the potential to “derail” the midterm elections, as reported by NPR.
Although Trump’s executive order is currently blocked by a court order as the case likely winds its way to the Supreme Court, USPS has been moving full steam ahead to develop a new online portal that would allow state election officials to submit mail-in voters’ names and ballot envelope barcodes required by the now-blocked rule. But the whistleblower claims that development of the system has been “rushed,” “risky and haphazard” and that testing of the system has been insufficient, thereby creating substantial risk of a “catastrophic failure” of the system that could “derail the midterm elections.”
“USPS leadership, it appears, has discarded all best practices as they speed the project to be ready for a September 1 implementation — raising questions about whether catastrophic failure would be a feature rather than a bug,” said the disclosure, prepared by Whistleblower Aid, a nonprofit organization representing the anonymous federal government official with direct knowledge of the Postal Service’s development of the new system.
