Two coalitions of states said on Tuesday they will file separate lawsuits against the Trump administration to challenge recent operational changes within the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) aimed at helping the agency reduce costs.

The announcements came around the same time Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said that USPS would suspend all operational changes until after the election in order to “avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail.”
