Key points Richard Blumenthal raises concerns about a new computer system being launched by the U. A whistleblower statement released by Democratic Sen.
A whistleblower statement released by Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal raises concerns about a new computer system being launched by the U.S. Postal Service.
The system, which is part of an effort to implement President Donald Trump's executive order, is reportedly hastily built and error-riddled. This could potentially jeopardize the mail voting process used by many voters. The Postal Service has been working to build the complex system in a short timeframe, despite a federal judge's temporary halt on the effort.
The administration is appealing the ruling, which may ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Further details about the whistleblower's statement and the implications of the new system are available, highlighting the rushed and potentially problematic implementation of the executive order.
