Stars & Stripes
The U.S. Postal Service pursued a project to build and secretly test a blockchain-based mobile phone voting system before the 2020 election, experimenting with a technology that the government’s own cybersecurity agency says can’t be trusted to securely handle ballots.
The system was never deployed in a live election and was abandoned in 2019, Postal Service spokesman David Partenheimer said. That was after cybersecurity researchers at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs conducted a test of the system during a mock election and found numerous ways that it was vulnerable to hacking.

So, after millions of tax dollars, it doesn’t work. The only surprise here is that it wasn’t deployed despite the known vulnerabilities.
“…conducted a test of the system during a mock election and found numerous ways that it was vulnerable to hacking…”
Didn’t some other group do the same thing with dominion systems and proved they were hackable?
I ordered two music CD’s that shipped from Connecticut on December 2nd.
They shipped via USPS.
They arrived December 14th.
12 days to get to Vegas.
There were no holidays or weather interruptions, just “First Class” shipping in the age of biden* government.
Get used to it.
PS, that is the first time I ever spelled ‘Connecticut’ correctly on the first go round.
Gotta take the wins when you can…
@Loco
Amazon thanks you for subsidizing their arrangement with USPS…
Info, the Post Master General was appointed by Trump. News flash, the “snail” mail has been slow for a long time, wake up & smell the coffvee.
Jeezz.
Herb, perhaps you didn’t hear but the USPS said earlier this year that the mail was going to be delivered MUCH slower.
This was even before any mandate bullshit.
They admitted this and actually even crowed about it as if to say “so what you gonna do about it, negro?”
And BTW, it’s C O V F E F E
What’s wrong with using paper?
Jethro, if you are inferring I bought something from Amazon, I am happy to say that I NEVER shop at Amazon.
It was a direct purchase from a great band I like from Gainesville, Florida.
Sister Hazel.
Herb, saying Trump appointed someone isn’t quite the burn you think it is.
It has been proven that the swamp is so festering that even so-called conservatives appointed to the Supreme Court are leftist-leaning assholes.
Trump tried but people on “our” side prefer an honest living and stay away from big government.
The one’s that do make it are generally cowed to the point they become subservient pussies to the left.
@Loco – but you could have gotten free 2 day shipping with a subscription to Prime!
Only one legit way to vote. In person, on a paper ballot.
@Loco
What I am saying is everybody else is paying higher prices at USPS so that amazon can use the postal carriers for the final stages of delivery for their packages at reduced cost.
Edit”
In person, on a paper ballot, ON VOTING DAY.
Who says I was going for a burn? You were complaining about slow mail.
And that Post Master General, he’s a real asshole, everyone under him hates him. Slow mail has been here along time, it’s not going away anytime soon, no matter who is in office at the top ! Blame it on whoever you want, I really don’t care. Coffee, oh theres a correct way to miss-spell it? Not
I got ya Jethro.
It’s so hard to try and do business these days without leftists and big government in the way.
The USPS having any fucking thing to do with voting other than limited delivery of absentee ballots is bullshit.
Herb, it NEVER took twelve days to go from Connecticut to Las Vegas via First Class USPS mail.
FACT: The USPS said that mail would take longer just this year.
Perhaps you missed that?
FACT: biden* wants to MANDATE the vax for USPS among others WHICH WOULD SLOW THE MOTHERFUCKERS DOWN EVEN MORE.
Coffee vs Covfefe…I’m uncertain what you were saying in the first place.
I still don’t know if you have a hard-on for Trump or not?
“What’s wrong with using paper?” -Dr. Tar
As opposed to a Biden bidet?
Nothing. As long as you flush when you’re done.
I sent documents from Arizona to Colorado last Jan. and it only took 6 weeks first class (what a joke) mail!
Bringing vote fraud into the digital age, except some college flunkies said the quiet part out loud.
To the Gulag with them!
USPS can FOAD.
The POST OFFICE???
I ordered a book of stamps online, from their site.
It took about two weeks to get to me, enclosed in a PRIORITY mailer, two freaking weeks.
Oh, yes, let’s allow them to run the election process further into incompetence and or corruption.
I forgot to say, I love only 15 minutes out of Louisville, no over the river, Through the woods, where is this place delivery address.
Mm, I was born in Louisville.
Good to have fellow Kentuckians here at iotw.
Of course you may be a Hoosier from Clarksville considering the 15 minutes comment?
Either way…
The Post office can’t even deliver the mail! I have a package mailed to me November 6 last seen 120 miles from me and still not delivered. I could have walked there after it by now on December 15.
“…they said it was built by “a U.S. government organization, that has requested to remain unnamed [and] plays an important role in national elections.”
…in other countries? Must be the CIA.
So even the Post Office was trying to get rid of Trump.
smh
Skuze me. USPS is broke. Where do they get the money, man power to invent a voting system? What the hell does delivering tons of junk mail have to do with elections? Maybe the Department of Commerce should start delivering mail?
Any vote tampering or new scheme via the usps look to the US postmaster general as being a collaborator.
