Attorney General Aaron M. Frey secured a victory from the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, blocking President Trump’s unlawful Executive Order that attempted to interfere with states’ constitutional authority to administer elections. The final ruling follows a multistate lawsuit joined by Attorney General Frey and a coalition of 24 states that challenged the Administration’s attempt to restrict voting to individuals on lists pre-authorized by the federal government and voting-by-mail to lists maintained by the U.S. Postal Service.

“Elections are the cornerstone of a healthy democracy. The real threat to secure elections is the President and his administration’s relentless and unlawful attempts to interfere and undermine public trust in this essential process. This preliminary injunction will prevent needless disruption and uncertainty in an election process that has unfailingly proven to be safe and secure.” – AG Frey
