## Resource

A whistleblower has exposed a dangerous rush to deploy the U.S. Postal Service’s new electronic mail-in ballot system, warning it could cripple upcoming elections. Built in just months—far faster than normal development timelines—the system was allegedly pushed forward despite court orders halting work. Its core flaw? A zero-tolerance verification standard: one error in a batch means the entire batch is rejected. With no adequate testing and critical deadlines looming, experts fear millions of ballots may be lost or delayed, deepening concerns about voter disenfranchisement.
