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 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. Those procedures will make an already complicated and risky plan even more vulnerable to potential mass disenfranchisement, the whistleblower says.

The new report – which was assembled by the whistleblowers’ lawyers and released by Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal – comes as multiple courts are considering the legality of the proposal, which would require that states submit to USPS lists of their mail-in voters. The agency will not deliver ballots for states if there are any discrepancies between the voter information in the USPS system and what’s picked up by agency scanners on the envelopes of the ballots.

    There will be so many lawsuits over purposely caused issues and other crises by November, the court will cancel it all and maga will say it’s just like Zelenskyy did so it’s fine. Two months to see if wrong!

      If we’re not facing an active, actual, missiles-in-the-air, tanks-on-the-border invasion and they try to pull that shit, then they’re even dumber than I thought.

          I will hoist the Canadian flag and declare any property I control as Canadian if something like that were to happen.

          For the military to tell them to get fucked? That’s the one country they might actually refuse.

            They will never disobey. They’ll live in their own shit while starving in the middle of the ocean for a year and the worst they’ll do is send anonymous complaints via their momma who can’t do anything because she’s been locked up in a concentration camp.

            I doubt it. They’ve stacked the TO with magats from top to bottom in the last 18 months, and the honorable ones have resigned.

            I’m oiling up my SKS.
