Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) on Monday said that her office is considering legal action against President Trump and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
“In 2017, I ran for secretary of state because the president was trying to suppress voters, including thousands of Coloradans,†Griswold said in an appearance on CNN. “As secretary of state, I will not allow him to suppress any American and will fight him with all options on the table. So we are looking at possible legal action against both the postmaster general and the president himself.â€
She went on to say that she did not intend to “get in front of our attorneys†on the details of the legal action but said the state had several legal options.
“The president ... is trying to suppress voters in November when he should be more concerned about suppressing the virus,†Griswold said, in reference to Trump’s frequent attacks on the legitimacy of mail-in voting. In Colorado, she said, “We send out ballots three weeks before Election Day and actually ask Coloradans to stop returning them eight days before, because they need to get in by Election Day.â€
