WASHINGTON, DC – Today, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to restrict mail in voting, securing a win for Democratic attorneys general after they swiftly sued to stop the administration’s unconstitutional executive order.

“‘This rule is a clear attempt by the federal government to interfere in elections it has no power to control,’” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement to NBC. “‘Today, a federal court halted it before this administration could wreak havoc on our elections.’”

The decision today is a reminder that Democratic AGs will always be on the front lines fighting to defend voter rights to keep our elections free and fair. They will always challenge unconstitutional actions from an administration that looks to exert their grip on power.
