The complaint highlighted that the hurried and sloppy development of the Federal Ballot mail Portal and related IT systems poses significant risks, including the potential for millions of voters&#8217; ballots to not be received or processed on time. This could lead to catastrophic failures that might disrupt election results. The USPS is following President Trump\u2019s executive order to deliver mail-in ballots to vetted citizens, but critics argue this approach is politically motivated and legally challenged. The whistleblower emphasized that technical flaws-such as issues with barcode scanning-could cause ballots to be rejected en masse, especially if even a single barcode fails. Additionally, courts recently denied the Trump management&#8217;s efforts to lift a temporary block on USPS policies regarding mail ballots, amid ongoing litigation and concerns about election integrity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article
