AG Bonta, AG Campbell, AG Ford, and AG Brown, co-leading a coalition of 23 AGs and the Governor of Pennsylvania, secured another victory in the coalition’s lawsuit challenging Executive Order No. 14399, President Trump’s second elections-related Executive Order. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit denied requests by the U.S. Department of Justice and intervenor states to pause a district court order blocking key provisions of the Executive Order in the plaintiff States for the upcoming fall midterm elections while the appeal proceeds.

“The Trump Administration does not have authority under the U.S. Constitution to dictate how states administer elections. This decision ensures key provisions of President Trump’s second elections-related Executive Order remain blocked for the upcoming midterm elections in the plaintiff States. We will continue fighting to protect the right to vote and defend the rule of law.” -AG Bonta
