Whistleblower Warns USPS Mail Voting System Could Disrupt Midterms

An anonymous federal whistleblower alleges that a U.S. Postal Service technical system built for mail voting is flawed and, if implemented, could disrupt the fall midterms. Attorney David Kligerman, representing the whistleblower, says an unusual verification rule and a hastily built online system could delay mail ballots from reaching eligible voters. The claims relate to a Postal Service plan for an order by former President Donald Trump.
