The government facing a challenge on another front. Colorados secretary of state announcing her office filed suit against the u. S. Postal service. This is over a mailer she says contains misleading information. Jennif jennifer griswald joins us live. Good morning to you. Lets start first, overnight, a federal judge responded to your lawsuit, temporarily barring the u. S. Postal service from continuing to send this mailer. What about the mailer has you so concerned . Thank you for having me on. Thats exactly right, you know, as secretary of state its my job to make sure that coloradans have the right voting information. And there were two things on the mailer that were inconsistent with voting in colorado. First, the mailer urged people to request a mail ballot. In colorado, we send a mail ballot to all registered voters and we actually asked voters to stop returning them through the mail eight days before election day, and instead take them to a drop box, and the mailer had inconsistent messaging on that also. Many people have already received these mails, isnt the cat already out of the bag . What are you hoping will happen here . Well, its very unfortunate. We were alerted that the mailer would go out on friday. So we just learned about it, we filed a lawsuit friday night. We havent had confirmation yet that every coloradan received the mailer. But i do think its important, again, as secretary of state, just to make sure that coloradans and other voters situated in the same situation have good voting information, and in colorado we believe in easy access. You just register to vote and then youre sent a mail ballot and you can return it to a drop box, by the mail or go vote in person, and we want to miake sue that message gets out to coloradans. Lets talk about the president s tweet we just heard in andrews piece, to the people of North Carolina to quote, make sure your ballot counts, sign it and send in early, go to the polling your location, to see if it was counted. If not, vote. You actually responded to the president tweeting, this is encouraging voter fraud, and i will refer you for prosecution if warranted. Are you concerned about voter fraud and the validity of this election . Well, i have total confidence in our election in colorado. Were considered the safest state to cast a ballot in today, and we also have one of the most successful elections in the nation especially during a pandemic. Eva, i want to share with you that my moms a nurse and shes been working to save lives on a covid unit. Vote by mail which we do in colorado is like wearing mask. It allows for accessible elections and it allows for social distancing during a pandemic. Im fully confident in our elections in colorado. But its shocking in 2020 to have to inform the president and last week, it was informing the u. S. Attorney general, that it is illegal to vote two times, and i really encourage him to stop urging americans to commit voter fraud. We have a good system, and folks should really rely on secretaries of state for election news. Much. Dan, over to you. Eva, thanks. Theres so much going on. Lets bring in our chief anchor George Stephanopoulos whos going to be hosting this week later this morning. Good morning, sir. Were hearing so much about mailin voting, we just heard democrats upset about the Republican Leadership of the u. S. Postal service and then, President Trump overnight again saying that this is going to be a lighted election. We all those of us that are watching, we all want a free election, and fair election. How do we sort through these competing claims . Lets talk about voter fraud, in every piece of evidence shows theres no widespread evidence of voter fraud. Every once in a while you see some kind of fraud. But for both mail voting and inperson voting, but its infy any tes mall. But what the real concern is, because theres going to be so much more mailing vote this year, that voters can be disenfranchised. Because their votes dont get to the poing plac i eye not cote appropriately. The other thing that we have to watch for this election, because a lot of the early votes, mail votes wont be counted until after the polls closed, you could have this disparity where say, President Trump is leading in some states in inperson voting, but all of the mail vote is out, that would not be counted for several days and show that he didnt win. A state. That would lead the president to say, thats not fair. Thats the concern of a rigged election and the perception of a rigged election. It could not only be an election night, but an election weekend. Also could be an election week with a lot of discontent and mistrust. Let me ask you more in the present moment here, whit mentioned this earlier. Theres this new abc news ipsos poll out this morning showing the president s approval handling of covid19 at 35 , more data here, twothirds of the country say the president acted too slowly. They distrust what hes been saying about the virus. How can the president change this dynamic, and how important is it to him . Thats the question, only seven weeks left until the election and it seems like these views of how the president handled the pandemic are kind of built in right now, and theyre getting worse not better because of the revelations we saw last week in the bob woodward book. But what the president has to hope for in the coming weeks is that progress is made towards a vaccine, that the number of cases do come down, the death toll continues to come down. At the same time, dan, we are only days away from that death toll hitting 200,000 americans. A grim, grim number. George, thank you very much. Really appreciate it coming in on a sunday morning. Tune in later this morning to this week. George will be talking a about the wildfires with the governor of washington and win of the u. S. Senators from oregon. Plus, senior advisers from the trump and Biden Campaigns will be talking about the latest in the president ial race and on tuesday night, at 9 00 p. M. , george is going to moderate a town hall where uncommitted voters will have a chance to pose questions directly to President Trump. George, thanks again. Whit, over to you. Turning now to more on the coronavirus pandemic, medical professionals looking with concern at the approaching flu season and the possibility of a dangerous new wave of covid19 cases, those two things colliding at the same time. Abcs trevor ault has more. Reporter this morning, healthcare workers across the country gearing up for a potential second brutal wave of covid19.

With an outbreak erupting at Michigan State university, every local student now being told to quarantine. County Health Officer calling it an urgent situation, but elsewhere, parents are feeling the crunch. Its just been a heartwrenching decision trying to find the balance between the two. Reporter britain brinley mosley is a hospice nurse, but with her kids classes moved online she has to cut back her hours and her children are still suffering emotionally. I feel like its safer for them to be in school. Reporter while in queens, new york, middle School Teachers at i. S. 230 wont go in the building, opting instead to teach outside after a fellow instructor became infected. And with at least 22 teachers testing positive across the city, the Teachers Union in new york city now threatening to delay the start of the school year. Were going to keep their children and their families safe. Were going to keep ourselves safe as well. Reporter and dr. Anthony fauci says hes at least somewhat hopeful with vaccinations and Health Measures in place, a lot of americans might be able to avoid the flu this year. We know some summer camps that avoided covid19, and said illnesses were down across the board. That was at least some hope of that happening across the board. Dan . Nice to see some mentions of hope on this morning. Trevor, thank you very much. Lets get it back to rob whos on the ground in pensacola, florida, tracking sally. Rob, good morning once again. Good morning, dan. Its turning out to be a beautiful morning on the north coast of the gulf of mexico. Just to our south and east, its really been a wet one. These are pictures out of key west. These are street flooded with over 9 inches of rainfall there. Miami beach also seeing wind and rain from what was a tropical depression, now a Tropical Storm, sally. Now in the gulf of mexico, and now we expect it to strengthen even more with those warm waters. Heres one of our model runs and how slowly we think its going to approach the mouth of the mississippi river, and thats never a good thing for storm surge, for wind obviously and for rainfall, and this is just one of our models.

After losing the first set to Victoria Azarenka in just 26 minutes, naomi osaka fought her way back to win this years title. This gives the 22yearold her second u. S. Open title and third overall grand slam championship. Osaka used her time on the court in her seven tournament matches to call attention to Racial Injustice wearing a different mask for each match, each bearing the name of a black victim of racial violence. What was the message that you got was more the question. I think the point is to make people start talking. Sports lends ligends like len james and Billie Jean King congratulating naomi on twitter. And civil rights Attorney Ben Crump who represents the families of three victims named on osakas masks commended her for raising her voice. Shes fun to watch and shes using her platform to promote change across the country. Just 22 years old. Yeah, absolutely. Big future ahead for her. No question about it.
