Whistleblower exposes that new mail-in voting system in the US may exclude millions of voters

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 00:48

A whistleblower exposed that a new mail-in voting system in the United States may exclude millions of voters from the democratic process. The information was revealed in the context of a broader legal dispute over voting rules in the country.

A federal judge decided to again suspend President Donald Trump's order, but without making a decision on the legality of the measure. The magistrate chose to temporarily block the implementation of the order.

The US administration immediately responded to the court decision, appealing the sentence. The appeal was filed with higher courts to try to reverse the suspension determined by the judge.

The case occurs amid a scenario of intense discussions about access to voting in the United States, with critics warning that the proposed changes could particularly affect vulnerable communities and make it difficult for millions of Americans to participate in elections.
