Given the efforts to curb Russian and other nation’s use of election misinformation on social media, will the foreign meddlers turn to the U.S. postal service to deliver campaign-related material? Admittedly, given the problems with the postal service, this may seem a counterintuitive idea.

One could see, for example, Russians flooding the mail service with official-looking documents advising people to show up to the wrong addresses to vote. Or foreign agencies may create and mail out “newspapers,” presumably exempt from election funding laws, whose pages are dominated by political hit pieces.

I don't think Russia has the money to buy that kind of postage.
 
Not sure how the disinformation will go.

But none of that will affect me since CO mails out ballots to everyone, and then we can either mail them back or drop them off at secure drop boxes.
