Whistleblower warns USPS mail‑in ballot overhaul could disrupt midterms

TL;DR Summary
A whistleblower alleges the USPS rushed an error‑prone, under‑tested ballot‑processing system to comply with a paused Trump administration order on mail‑in voting, raising the risk of delays and chaos in the upcoming elections. If the order takes effect, states must implement new envelope designs and tracking requirements, which could prevent mail voting in some jurisdictions this fall and create massive staffing and logistics challenges as millions of ballots move through a faster but more error‑prone scanning process.
