A major overhaul of the U.S. Postal Service’s mail-in ballot verification system is set to roll out just weeks before the midterm elections, raising concerns about untested technology and potential risks to eligible voters. The new system, which has not undergone prior trials, introduces an untried method of confirming voter identities, leaving election integrity experts questioning its reliability. With ballots already being processed in some states, the shift could disrupt established procedures and create confusion for voters. Critics warn the changes may inadvertently disenfranchise legitimate voters if implementation fails to account for technical or logistical challenges.
