Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has issued the following statement in reaction to President Donald Trump’s comments that he is withholding United States Postal Service funding to restrict universal vote by mail.
“The President stated that he’s withholding US Postal Service funding to prevent vote by mail.
“This is voter suppression. It’s voter suppression to undermine the safest method to vote during a pandemic, and force Americans to risk their lives to vote. Colorado’s election model is the nation’s gold standard, and we use both mail ballots and ballot drop boxes.
“Our use of drop boxes is even more crucial as the US Postal Service is under attack.”
