An anonymous federal whistleblower and their lawyer have raised alarms that a US Postal Service technical system built in response to a Trump administration mail-voting order is flawed and could disrupt the 2026 midterm elections. The complaint alleges that a hastily constructed online verification system, combined with new ballot-handling rules, risks delaying or blocking legitimate mail ballots from reaching voters. The warnings add to broader controversy over changes to mail voting procedures tied to Trump's directive, with critics warning of potential voter disenfranchisement ahead of the fall elections.
