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.

    Nothing like a public service that answers to We, The People intentionally doing stuff hidden from the public that pays for these public services, all with the intent of fucking with our right to vote.

    Conservatives are the worst human beings.

    Alternate source: https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2026/09/01/usps-whistleblower-report-mail-voting/4141788270668/

    The whistleblower, who has been described by attorneys as a federal official, shared the report with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the body that has legislative jurisdiction in the House over the USPS. The report alleges that the USPS and Trump administration are ignoring a Supreme Court ruling that blocked the implementation of President Donald Trump’s mail-in-voting mandates.

    The changes, which have been hidden from the public, could disenfranchise a large number of voters, the whistleblower warns.

    I am 100% dropping mine off in person. Federal protections exist to grant you time from your job to vote. Use them, please

        In WA state you can log on print your own. Sign it and drop it off in a drop box not handled by USPS.

          It’s always good to have a DR plan, and the Nat-C regime definitely qualifies as a disaster.

          Hopefully Colorado figures it out quick the minute they start seeing fuckery from these jerkoffs in the federal government.

      Not everyone eligible to vote can make it to a polling booth. You know, those places where they’re promising to stage ICE? This is all coordinated, no happy accidents for this admin.

      I’ve had the option to vote by mail for more than a decade here in Colorado. I usually get my ballot, by mail, fill it out at my leisure, and drop it off at a collection box, also at my leisure.

      It’s an absolutely beautiful system and it works very well.

      Why should I have to change how I vote because one fucking asshole was voted into the WH? That’s an outrage. I mean, I’ll do it if I have to, but not sure that everyone will be able to or will want to, and that’s the chaos that this stupid orange ape wants to cause in our country.
