Attorney General Dan Rayfield today 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 by Attorney General Rayfield 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.

“The President tried to weaponize the Postal Service to control who gets a ballot and the Court said no. Oregonians support vote-by-mail because they know it is safe, secure, and reliable. Every eligible Oregonian deserves to have their vote counted, and that right doesn’t disappear because a president signs an unlawful order.” – AG Rayfield
