Midterms 2026: Postal voting is in danger, warns whistleblower

A whistleblower has warned that a new system implemented by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), under President Donald Trump’s decree, could prevent millions of Americans from receiving their mail-in ballots before the 2026 midterm elections. The reform, introduced 'in secret and hastily,' violates a court order that blocked the executive order, according to Senator Richard Blumenthal. The system was created to comply with a March 2025 decree requiring the creation of a federal voter eligibility list, which would restrict mail-in voting to those on the list. Concerns center around poorly developed IT systems that risk delaying or denying ballots. The USPS has acknowledged reviewing the concerns but emphasized its commitment to secure and reliable ballot handling. This issue reflects broader tensions over election integrity and the role of mail-in voting, with Trump frequently criticizing this method as a factor in his 2020 loss.
