一名举报人向民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔披露，美国邮政服务新开发的邮寄投票门户系统存在"潜在的灾难性问题"1。该举报人指出这一系统"未经测试"且存在"重大运营问题"1，声称邮政服务在实施特朗普行政令以收紧邮寄投票规则时违反了法院裁决1。
根据新规则，州选举官员需通过联邦邮件投票门户提交接收邮寄投票的选民姓名和地址1。该系统存在严格的拒绝机制：如果样本批次中任何一张选票的条形码扫描不当或信息不匹配，整个批次都将被拒绝并返回1。举报人的律师称这一过程"完全不宽容"，可能导致"数千张选票延迟"1。
邮政服务否认系统存在问题，声称其行动符合法院命令1。该机构目标是在9月1日前让门户系统公开推出1。联邦法官Indira Talwani曾暂时阻止执行该规则，但最高法院随后推翻了该决定1。特朗普在3月签署行政令时声称"邮寄投票舞弊是传奇性的"1。
A whistleblower has raised alarm about "potentially catastrophic problems" in a new mail ballot system being deployed by the U.S. Postal Service, contending that the agency is violating court rulings while implementing a Trump administration directive to tighten mail voting regulations.1 The system, an online portal developed by the Postal Service, has drawn scrutiny from Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal following the whistleblower's disclosure.1 The Postal Service has rejected these concerns, maintaining that its actions comply with court orders.1
Under the new rules, state election officials must submit the names and addresses of voters receiving mail ballots through the federal postal voting portal.1 According to the whistleblower's account, the system remains "untested" and contains "significant operational issues."1 The process has been characterized by the whistleblower's attorney as "completely unforgiving," with a critical flaw: if even a single ballot's barcode in a sample batch scans improperly or information fails to match, the entire batch is rejected and returned.1 This design flaw could result in "thousands of ballots delayed," the attorney warned.1 The Postal Service aims to have the portal publicly launched before September 1.1
Trump signed the executive order in March, claiming that "mail ballot fraud is legendary."1 A federal judge, Indira Talwani, temporarily blocked enforcement of the rule last week, but the Supreme Court reversed that decision.1
