Untested

• A whistleblower has raised concerns that new USPS rules, stemming from a March executive order by Donald Trump, could jeopardize the timely delivery of mail-in ballots. • The order requires the USPS to send ballots only to voters appearing on citizenship lists developed by the Social Security Administration and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. • To comply with these rules, ballot envelopes must now feature specific barcodes, a technology the whistleblower claims remains untested.

• A whistleblower has warned that a complex system designed by the U.S. Postal Service to vet mail ballots is flawed and remains untested. • The system was developed following an executive order from Donald Trump, though the order is currently being contested and stymied in the courts. • This development is critical as it raises concerns over the reliability and security of mail-in voting processes during a high-stakes election period.

• A whistleblower alleges the USPS defied court orders to implement an "untested" portal designed to enforce President Trump's executive order limiting mail-in voting. • The directive requires states to submit eligible voter lists and use digital bar-coded envelopes, allowing the USPS to reject ballots that do not match these lists. • The Department of Homeland Security is also tasked with creating independent citizen voter lists to cross-reference against state data.
