A federal judge temporarily bars the USPS from sending mailers that election officials in Colorado say contain false statements about voting

Washington A federal judge has temporarily barred the US Postal Service from sending mailers containing what Colorado's top election official calls"false statements" that may discourage voters from participating in the November election, according to court documents filed Saturday evening.

Unless extended by the court, the temporary restraining order remains in effect through September 22, the filings shows. "Temporary restraining order granted. The USPS must stop sending misinformation to Colorado voters," Jena Griswold, Colorado's secretary of state, tweeted Saturday evening. Griswold, a Democrat, filed a lawsuit on Saturday seeking a temporary restraining order to stop delivery of mailers that have yet to be delivered.

Glad someone awake,, good news,,

good now I will stop getting all these biden mailers

USPS Can federal court stop falsehood of DeJoy, Barr, Trump who are blatantly trying their best to steal American voter's rights, they are competing with Third World countries, though even when they do it, they do is covertly, not overtly like Trumpians

Why just temporary?

Mail voting is NOT the same as absentee ballots. If you think we don't know and keep lying, CNN has to go. JournalismIsDead

Make the Post Office responsible for somebody else's erroneous or false information? Oh my. I guess that probably takes less courage and work than holding the culprits responsible. 👀 Whatever happened to common sense and intelligence?

If u can attack cops in person then u can vote in person

I pits. It the job of the USPS. It’s obviously aTrump and DeJoy scheme to hinder a smooth election.

Yes it needs to be stopped now.

Another Obama judge makes a foolish ruling. It will be tossed out on appeal.

WHY ARE THESE GUYS BLOWING UP RIGHT NOW!?! love

The statements are suggestions to insure timely delivery by the USPS . It is not from the state and does not claim to document state rules . It makes a suggestion to those mailing these votes .

Word of advice? Tighten this up by striking the unnecessary and misleading 'election officials in Colorado say' and run it again.

Let me guess...the false information is linked to Trump...he will do anything to tamper, mislead and suppress voting this year. 🤢 VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare VoteBlue2020

The new hampshire GOP purposefully sent our absentee ballot requests that were designed to be rejected. Look into it. It's true.

I live in ID and received one in the mail. It says right on the card to contact election board to confirm dates and rules. FFS, there is nothing sinister about these cards. A waste of money, sure, but there's no evil plot behind these mailers.

How dare they interfere with the Democrats mail in voter fraud scheme!

Recently I received an online notice that I have been put on the Trump 2020 enemy list of internet politicians. They're monitoring me over at the White House. My followers and I will always stand up for what they hate, the truth! Follow Stay Updated / Keep Watching Big Brother

As soon as his next endorsement check from China posts

And the GOP bots, led by the likes of realDonaldTrump, GOPChairwoman, and GOPLeader, are still pretending that the Dems are trying to steal the election..

How does this NOT translate to derlict of duty or failure to perform for DeJoy? Any other chief/director would be facing termination. Does the American people not have any recourse?

Good for that judge in CO. Great news.

i am an election judge in Colorado, and have been for several elections - i reread this mailer several times and never could figure out how it in any way applied to our state- cuz it fucking doesn’t!!

Send it to Neomi_Rao, she will overrule anything for Trump (and money, of course. She may be corrupt, but she's not stupid.)

Can't the USA even mail a letter without drama? 3rd world country.... Laughable!!!

.

Why is usps doing this? I thought they were trying to save money?

this is bizarre... nowhere in the story does it say WHO MAILED THEM

Unbelievable. It’s sad that some people will be affected by this. Not everyone will get the message to ignore this false propaganda by USPS. I can’t believe I’m even saying this. Please spread the word. This must reach everyone who got these false mailers. Vote VoteBidenHarris

Good news!! 👏🏽
