Restraining order! Jena Griswold is badass!
Federal judge grants temporary restraining order to prevent USPS from sending election mailers with 'false statements'
Washington (CNN)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.
