I am asking you to take immediate action to stop the U.S. Postal Service from implementing its new ballot-mail verification system until Congress and the public have been given complete information about how it works and independent experts have determined that it cannot disenfranchise voters. The reported use of an untested or inadequately tested system to screen and potentially reject batches of election mail is deeply troubling. A single error should never put legitimate voters’ ballots at risk. The right to vote should not depend on whether a new Postal Service computer system works perfectly. This should not be a partisan issue. **Election integrity means making sure every eligible voter can cast a ballot—not creating new obstacles to doing so.** Mail-in voting is particularly important to seniors, people with disabilities, rural voters, military voters, and Americans who cannot easily get to a polling place. I urge you to demand a halt to this process until there is full transparency, independent testing, congressional oversight, and a clear guarantee that no eligible voter will be prevented from voting by mail because of this new system. Please do not wait until voters are disenfranchised to act. **Protect Americans’ right to vote now.**
