>For example, the way the system is designed, if even one barcode on one ballot in a bulk mailing of 10,000 ballots failed 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 and depriving them of their vote.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/whistleblower-usps-systems-mail-ballots-flawed-rcna595361

An anonymous federal official warned in a whistleblower complaint this week that the technical system the U.S. Postal Service built for mail voting is flawed, untested and likely to cause major disruptions in this fall’s midterm elections if it is implemented.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March that directed his administration to create federal lists of citizens and asked the Postal Service to transmit mail ballots to only those people. A federal judge has blocked the order from going into effect amid ongoing litigation over its constitutionality; the whistleblower complaint highlights potential issues that could arise if the courts ultimately declare it lawful.

The USPS typically is responsible only for transporting mail ballots between election officials and voters, and the federal government has never kept a central list of all American citizens. Trump ordered the agency to take on an unprecedented and complex role in the process this year amid a broader attempt to exert greater control over the country’s elections and his continued unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud.

The technical system the USPS assembled to vet voters was developed in a “rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed process,” according to a whistleblower complaint sent to the office of Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Blumenthal sent the complaint to Postmaster General David Steiner on Monday asking for more information.
>>
“This administration seems hell-bent on changing the framework of casting ballots in this country, clearly for political reasons,” Blumenthal said on a call with reporters Monday. “It is unconstitutional, as is argued in the courts by the litigation that is ongoing, but this disclosure indicates that it is also blatantly incompetent and incapable of actually delivering ballots that are lawful in this midterm election.”

The whistleblower is identified as an anonymous federal official who is being represented by Whistleblower Aid, a nonprofit group that represents public- and private-sector employees making such complaints. They allege that the USPS didn’t begin building its portal for verifying ballots “in earnest” until June, giving itself less than three months to complete a system that would ordinarily take at least nine to 12 months to build.

The agency last month finalized the rule for how it would implement the changes, which would create a massive new workload for election officials and put up hurdles for millions of voters to cast ballots by mail.

Large batches of ballots would be rejected by the portal if even a single ballot couldn’t be verified, the whistleblower said.

“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,” the complaint reads. “Even under ordinary circumstances this would be problematic because of predictable errors in any barcode scanning process.”
>>
The whistleblower said workers involved in developing the USPS system feared it would crash and described the process just days before the project was originally scheduled to be released to the public Tuesday as a “s--- show,” according to the complaint.

The whistleblower also said the USPS had ordered workers to continue developing its system, despite court orders blocking implementation of the project.

A federal court order Monday stated that the government could continue building its portal as long as the states aren’t required to participate.

>whistleblower

You mean liggeral operative trying to facilitate illegal voting and stealing the election from MAGA?
>>
>>1533485
Sound like it'll be the safest and most secure election since 2020 to me
>>
>>1533495
So you're saying the 2016 and 2024 were unsecured and stolen by trump and his co-conspirators, the Russians.
>>
>>1533485
Why stop at 10,000? Why not 50,000?
>>
Pure fascism.

2026 will be a trial run for 2028.
>>
fun fact for conspiracy theorists: paper ballots, especially from overseas military and government employees, are not counted unless a race is close. Most states count most domestic mail-in ballots but many do not bother in races and issues won by large enough margins. It has always been this way.

Not too long ago, nearly all voting was in person with the exception of active-duty military and federal employees far from their home districts. This goes back to the early 1796 and there was a huge increase in absentee voting during the Civil War. Civilian absentee voting had been very minor prior to the 1970.
So get off your lazy ass and go vote.
>>
>>1533485
>and the federal government has never kept a central list of all American citizens
You can tell the goal isn't to actually get a list of noncitizens, because it would be incredibly easy for the Federal government to make this list.
>>
>>1533502
1968 was a trial run for every subsequent election.
2000 was a trial run for every presidential election of this century.
The day after Trump won the election in November 2024, three things happened:
1) Project 2025 handbook was published. It was called "By Dawn's Early Light" and it was ghosted by JD Vance.
2) President Trump announced that he would "have to be a dicator for awhile"
3) Trump stated that this was the last time anyone had to vote for president.
>>
>>1533507
Sounds good. I'm voting Trump 2028, BTW.
Hope he wins, because it'll be hilarious to see Democrats complain about democracy.
>>
>>1533485
That makes sense because Democrats ship out pallets of fake votes. Send them all back and manually verify it. That's how the 2020 election was stolen
>>
Shills out in force tonight. Whistleblower must be dead-on.
>>
>>1533504
It would be very easy, but every time the US Gov asks the states say no. Weird.
>>

Yes.

People don't understand just how few people show up to vote for non presidential elections. South Carolina is suffering from voter fatigue for all of the elections and only 1,800 people turned out in the largest city for the senate run off. One subdivision worth of people in the largest city in a state
>>
>>1533529
There’s also verified evidence that the Russians were assisting the Trump campaign.
>>
>>1533530
Why do people do this? You just take the statement of an anonymous whistleblower as being the absolute truth.

99% sure that this story, like tens of thousands before will be resolved as yet another nothingburger. However, it wont stop you spazzing out about it for the next 24 hours, and deepening your radicalization, until you completely forget about it and move onto the next psyop.

During the Bush vs Gore election, one of the biggest claims of voter fraud was that the "samples" of ballots given for recounts appeared to have been sorted and tampered with. Now there was no proof to substanstiate that claim, but in retrospect, it was probably true based on the fact that now they know that they have to reject entire lots of ballots because the chances of the entire lot being tampered is probably guaranteed.

>>

Probably this.

If ballots are sent out with sequenced barcodes. And you get an sequenced ballot in the batch, then someone has probably done something to it.

Its no big deal, you just send out a different batch of ballots.

I hope President Trump runs again. I want another 4 years.

Deferred responsibility; the mentality that someone else will do it.
Also probably just political fatigue. Thats still wild to hear about how few people actually voted though
>>
>>1533549
>Its no big deal, you just send out a different batch of ballots.
Except they're also trying to make it so that the only ballots that count are the ones that arrive on election day. Oh, it just so happens that one ballot in this entire bulk didn't scan? Send the whole thing back. Oh, it's literally the day before election day? Welp, guess this poling place in a conveniently blue area is going to be shut down :)
>>

Like trump does.

Well unfortunately the US is what we call a 'flawed democracy', and actively works to deter people from voting by making it as inaccessible as possible.
Voting day is a work day. Early voting is often not an option depending on your area. Voting places are deliberately positioned in inconvenient areas and there frequently aren't enough to support the local population, especially if said population is not white. Unrepentant fucking cunt Republicans put up as many barriers as possible so that voting is in itself a painful process. People get removed from voter rolls without warning or reason. People can't even hand out bottled water at queues without getting arrested for '''interference'''.
Put simply, your country is a FUCKING EMBARRASSMENT.
