Colorado isn't even considered a battleground state in this election. Nevertheless, the U.S. Postal Service had already sent out pre-election postcards with false information to Colorado voters when federal judge William Martinez stopped the process with a temporary injunction on Saturday.
Many had already been delivered on Saturday, when the Colorado Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, sued and was granted the injunction because the USPS mailer said that voters should:
-- Request their mail-in ballots by 15 days before the election. This is false because Colorado voters don't have to request mail-in ballots.
-- Mail them back in by 7 days before the election. This is false because Colorado voters can turn in the ballots on election day itself.
-- Mail them back in by 7 days before the election. This is false because Colorado voters can turn in the ballots on election day itself.
There seems to be little question that foul play was involved. Griswold, a Democrat, had asked DeJoy to let her preview the election information to make sure it was correct. DeJoy refused. Griswold then asked that the mailers not be sent to Colorado voters. They were mailed anyway.
I'm not sure how many states were involved, but Colorado wasn't the only one. "Secretaries of State asked @USPS Postmaster General DeJoy to review a draft before election information was sent to voters to ensure accuracy. But he refused. Now millions of postcards with misinformation are printed & being mailed to voters," she tweeted, according to CNN.
It's not clear which secretaries of state were run over by DeJoy's actions. The judge demanded that the named defendants -- Louis DeJoy (Postmaster General), Samarn Reed (Regional Postmaster), and Chris Yazzi (Albuquerque and New Mexico Regional Postmaster -- account for every mailer by September 17 by providing a list of zip codes where they were sent and when.
Should Biden speak up about this event? Do the Democrats have the moxie to take action? If so, what action would they take?
