Yes the whistleblower has alleged that the new federal ballot-mail system was rushed, poorly tested, and could wrongly reject batches of mail ballots, but those claims are still allegations, not proven misconduct. Yet.

But Trump is continuing to press ahead by appealing court restrictions and seeking Supreme Court relief, while USPS says it is complying with the current injunctions rather than simply ignoring them. In any case, it's probably too late for 2026.

The bigger concern is 2028: if the federal government gains more operational control over how mailed ballots are processed, close elections could become even more vulnerable to last-minute bullshit changes, litigation, and public distrust—even if courts ultimately stop unlawful measures. And that's plan anyway--just throw a wrench into the gears.

I think this will motivate Dems even more than they already are.

Not really the point, but the impact the price of gasoline may have on the party that has treated renewable energy as an existential threat rather than the national security priority it obviously is… oddly beautiful and therapeutic. You put all your eggs in the basket of a non-renewable energy source that sells to the global market with no deference to the United States and it could ultimate destroy the party and send it the way of the whiggs

Thank you, Mary. Remarkable commentary. I especially like, "The sophistication of the delivery does not improve the quality of the information." Let's hope others are paying attention to the information and/or lack thereof. Let us also hope that others are paying attention to the dire need to check registrations, make note of deadlines, and be prepared to vote. It is truly a matter of saving our democracy.

That 400 million will never be used to help anyone but Trump.

MAGA controls the presidency, Congress and Supreme Court majority. According to Trump world, this result is due to pervasive election fraud, especially mail-in ballots. Democrats apparently rigged the system to lose.

The USPS is being weaponized based on a Big Lie that is also absurd. That Congress and the Supreme Court are allowing the real fraud - the Big Lie - to simmer without unabashed condemnation and rejection is another indicator we are witnessing a coup.
