The U.S. Postal Service could “derail” the midterm election if it continues rushing out “untested” technology as part of President Trump’s push to restrict mail-in voting, a newly released whistleblower report warns.
TIL “carefully reviewing” = ignoring and reporting to ICE to harass said whistleblower.
Yeah, they are probably “carefully reviewing” how they can find and punish those involved with revealing their nefarious schemes to fuck with our democracy.
USPS:
And will persecute the whistle blower as soon as they unmask the unpatriotic bastard! How dare they speak of our crimes!
The USPS is aware and doesn’t give a crap. When they were centralizing sorting and cancellation and gathered public comment, a lot of people said that’s going to cause problems because a lot of laws verify a legal deadline with a postmark date. The USPS said everyone is using postmark wrong and the solution is they need to educate us better. (That was their official response.)
When asked about concerns about mail in ballots, administrators in Washington were told that they were too small a percentage of USPS business to really worry about and that the USPS was going to look out for the needs of the USPS.
It’s nice the public is finally catching up, but government workers who routinely work with the USPS have seen this coming for years. It isn’t about maintaining a trusted partnership anymore, that era has already ended. The only question now is when our cross purposes become completely incompatible.
I mean, maybe they would be a little more friendly if Congress hadn’t fucked them so hard
