## Resource

A whistleblower has sounded the alarm over a hastily deployed, untested U.S. Postal Service system for handling mail-in ballots — a move critics say could jeopardize election integrity. A federal judge in Boston has temporarily halted the rollout, calling it a serious threat to voting rights, while the administration fights back in court. With ballots already being printed and distributed, and no official response from either the White House or USPS, voters and legal watchers brace for a high-stakes showdown before Election Day.
