WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General said on Tuesday it plans to conduct an independent review of allegations from a whistleblower who has warned proposed USPS mail-in voting restrictions could result in thousands of legal ballots being discarded.
On Friday, a federal judge in Boston extended a ban stopping President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing a new USPS rule that would tighten mail-in voting requirements ahead of the November congressional elections.
Last week, President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court to let it enforce the new USPS rule on use of mail-in ballots.
Lawmakers have urged USPS to halt work on new mail-in voting rules, saying they threaten the integrity of the November congressional elections. They cited a whistleblower who warned that USPS’ planned “verification” systems “risk collapsing the absentee ballot system and disenfranchising millions of Americans.”
This will be interesting, as anytime the USPS gets wind of any type of investigation , documents magically disappear and memories become short. There is no other agency under the federal umbrella, cabinet level or not, that is more corrupt than the USPS.
