Friend,

A whistleblower with direct knowledge of the U.S. Postal Service’s plans
is warning that the agency could “derail” the midterm elections and
prevent enormous numbers of eligible voters from receiving their mail
ballots in time, or at all.

USPS has reportedly been racing to launch a secretive, untested system
designed to carry out President Trump’s executive order asserting federal
control over vote by mail. A federal judge temporarily blocked the
agency’s plan after finding that it was likely illegal.

But according to the whistleblower report, USPS continued developing the
system anyway.^[ [link removed] ]^

The system’s reported design is staggering. If even one barcode on one
ballot fails to scan properly, an entire batch containing tens of
thousands of ballots could be rejected. Those ballots could be trapped in
repeated verification cycles, preventing states from mailing them until it
is too late for voters to return them.

One failed scan could stop tens of thousands of ballots from being mailed,
stripping eligible voters of their chance to vote before they even know
anything has gone wrong.

And this is not happening in isolation. At the same time USPS is
reportedly preparing a system that could stop ballots from being mailed,
the Department of Homeland Security is launching a “coordinated criminal
voter fraud investigation surge” in nine states, several of which could
decide control of Congress.^[ [link removed] ] The Trump administration is mobilizing the
power of the federal government to interfere with the midterms just as
voters begin casting their ballots.

Control of Congress could be decided by a handful of close races. We have
no time to waste preparing voters for the chaos Trump is creating.

effort this threat demands >>

Trump has spent years spreading lies about voting by mail. Now his
administration is attempting to use the Postal Service itself to impose
new barriers, disrupt the delivery of ballots, and interfere with how
states run their elections.

The administration’s goal is clear: seize greater control over vote by
mail and use it to make voting harder. If Trump succeeds, eligible voters
could be denied their ballots, thousands of votes could go uncast or
uncounted, and MAGA candidates could remain in power because voters were
prevented from having their say.

We cannot allow a rushed, untested system to decide who controls Congress.

People For is preparing an aggressive voter mobilization campaign across
the states and districts that could determine the outcome of the midterm
elections. We need to reach mail voters early and repeatedly, urge them to
request and return their ballots as soon as possible, and direct them to
secure alternatives if their ballots are delayed or never arrive.

That work must begin now. Every day we wait means fewer voters reached,
fewer ballots tracked, and less time to overcome whatever new obstacles
Trump’s administration puts in their path.

[2]Please donate $10, $25, or whatever you can today to help us reach
voters before Trump’s attack on vote by mail becomes a full-scale election
crisis >>

In just over two months, voters will have the chance to break the MAGA
grip on Congress and finally place a check on Trump’s abuses of power. But
before they can make that choice, we have to make certain they are able to
vote.

Please help us reach them before it is too late.

In solidarity,

People For the American Way
