The Colorado Secretary of State has filed a lawsuit against the USPS and Postmaster General Louis Dejoy, claiming that a mailer about mail-in voting contains misinformation. The mailer advises voters to request ballots 15 days before Election Day, but Colorado and other states automatically send ballots to registered voters. The USPS argues that halting the mailer distribution would be burdensome, as 200,000 mailers are already in process. A judge's ruling temporarily bans the mailer until September 22nd.
