> When election officials bring ballots to their USPS site for delivery, either the entire batch of ballot envelopes or a sampling will be physically scanned – depending on where the ballots are being dropped, according to the whistleblower. If just a single ballot envelope scan does not align with the information in the portal, USPS will refuse to deliver the entire batch of ballots while the discrepancy is being sorted out.
The article certainly reads like someone took a checklist of worst practices and lessons learned during the SDLC, and decided that’s how this should be rolled out.

There's no "seems to" about it, any benefit of the doubt went out of the window years ago. There's a significant portion of the US Republican party that doesn't just have reasonable questions about when government is the right answer but considers it their explicit purpose to dismantle government institutions which do work well on principle.
