As many as 10 state attorneys general are now involved, two state officials involved in the effort told ABC News.
The U.S. Postal Service is warning at least 23 states that their deadlines are “incompatible” with delivery standards, including battleground states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.
"I, along with numerous other state attorneys general from around the nation, are now swiftly examining every legal option to protect the postal service and Americans’ right to vote absentee,” James said.The suit is expected to mount two major constitutional challenges to the recent cutbacks, according to one of the officials, a state government attorney. States will assert that the federal government is trying to impede their constitutional right to oversee their own elections.
