Whistleblower says Trump mail-in voting plan could "derail" midterms
Summary
This episode examines a whistleblower’s warning that a new USPS system, mandated by President Trump, could disrupt mail-in voting for the midterms. The untested portal imposes strict verification rules that may cause ballot delays or rejections. A federal judge has blocked key parts of the plan, citing lack of authority, though the Supreme Court may intervene. Legal experts argue the system exceeds postal duties and threatens election integrity.
