New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after a federal judge ruled that the administration’s executive order asserting federal control over elections is unlawful:

“Generations of Americans fought tirelessly for the right to vote, and we honor their legacy by protecting that right against anyone who tries to undermine it. I am grateful the court blocked the president’s unconstitutional attempt to seize control of our elections. As we approach this year’s midterms, I will continue doing everything in my power to protect free and fair elections and defend the sacred right to vote for New Yorkers and all Americans.” – AG James
