The news comes one day after Attorney General Bill Barr condemned states for encouraging mail-in voting in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer. Barr also diluted the intelligence community's assessment that Russia is the only country actively interfering in the 2020 election. "I accept that there is some preliminary activity that suggests that they might try again," Barr said of Russia. Senior US intelligence officials, tasked with protecting the 2020 election, recently said that there is no evidence that foreign countries are interfering with the mail-in voting process in this country. Bipartisan officials across the country have expanded mail-in voting this year, and public health authorities are encouraging it as a pandemic-friendly way to vote.
