The US Postal Service effort to develop a sweeping new system for verifying mail ballots has invited a host of IT concerns among agency officials, with some describing the process internally as a “sh*t show,” according to a new whistleblower report released Tuesday by a Democratic senator. The unnamed whistleblower is alleging that some of the procedures USPS is planning – under mandates put forward by President Donald Trump – have been hidden from the public.

Through a series of executive orders, the President has sought to stop what he claims to be widespread voter fraud - a claim unsupported by facts. A federal judge found that the White House’s rule that would make the USPS act as electoral oversight and force it not to deliver mail-in ballots in states that do not share their voter data was “likely unconstitutional.” The President – who himself votes by mail – has called the process, “mailed-in cheating.” “If vote-by-mail is inherently corrupt and inherently cheating,” says California Attorney General Rob Bonta, “then he is inherently corrupt and inherently a cheater because he votes by mail time and time again.”
