Thomas Marshall, general counsel and executive VP of the agency, warned in a July 29 letter to State Sec. Boockvar of "a risk that ballots requested near the deadline under state law will not be returned by mail in time to be counted under your laws as we understand them." (2/6)
The letter was revealed Thursday in a filing that's part of an ongoing lawsuit by a group of Pennsylvania voters who want state officials to extend the counting deadline beyond Election Day as a result of anticipated US Postal Service delays for mail-in ballots. (3/6)

The US Postal Service sent a similar letter and warning to Washington's secretary of state, Kim Wyman, the Spokane Spokesman-Review reported Monday. (5/6)
