The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and its postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, have asked a federal judge to reconsider its order after the judge issued a temporary ban on the agency from sending out pre-election mailers that encourage voters who wish to vote-by-mail to plan ahead and request ballots early ahead of the November election.

U.S. District Court Judge William Martinez on Sept. 12 granted a temporary restraining order against USPS and DeJoy after Colorado sued arguing that the pre-election mailer contains false and misleading statements to Colorado voters.
