Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, the state’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee, discusses mail-in balloting after a whistleblower reported the USPS is working to enforce the president’s plan to exert federal control over ballots. Weiser slams what he calls the administration’s attacks, telling President Donald Trump: “Get the hell away from elections.”
The Trump administration has appealed a ruling temporarily blocking his efforts to restrict mail-in voting after a federal judge prohibited the U.S. Postal Service from carrying out his plan. With the appeal still pending, state officials are up against the clock in states like North Carolina, where they are required to begin sending out mail-in ballots starting next week. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold and former Federal Prosecutor Brendan Ballou join The Weekend to discuss.
