A whistleblower says the US Postal Service is being pressured to rush out an online system supporting President Trump's push to restrict mail-in voting, warning the effort could 'derail' the midterm election if courts permit it to proceed. USPS says it is 'carefully reviewing' the matter. A lawyer representing the anonymous whistleblower has now warned that USPS's planned verification rule, paired with the hastily built online system, could prevent eligible voters' mail ballots from reaching them in time. The attorney's comments add legal weight to concerns that the rushed rollout could disenfranchise voters ahead of the midterms.
