- Whistleblower allegations — Postal Service response and temporary restraint preserved
An unidentified whistleblower's statement released by Sen. Richard Blumenthal alleged that the Postal Service was building an insufficiently tested ballot-mail portal on an unusually compressed schedule and warned that batch-rejection rules could delay or prevent delivery of ballots. The Postal Service said the build was not unusually complex, pledged cooperation with Congress and the courts, and noted that the current order allowed voluntary portal development. The allegations and projected effects were not adjudicated at the cutoff, and implementation remained temporarily restrained.
