There are multiple lawsuits in multiple federal courts fighting Trump’s effort to violate the U.S. Constitution via the back door mechanism of the USPS. The Constitution makes states the primary authority on election administration, with a limited role for Congress. There is NO role for the federal executive branch. 3/
Monday, the Roberts Six vacated a Massachusetts District Court judge’s preliminary injunction against Trump’s to federalize control of state voting rolls and the mailed ballots process. Yesterday, plaintiffs in other lawsuits took action to get new injunctions in place. Today, the plaintiffs in the Mass District Court case have moved for such a new injunction, in light of the Trump regime, via USPS, taking definitive steps to operationalize Trump’s plan. 4/ #LawFedi
The case in federal court in Massachusetts is extremely significant because the plaintiffs are state attorney generals, defending the states’ Constitutional powers. California is the lead plaintiff. Other state plaintiffs listed on today’s filing. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.305406/gov.uscourts.mad.305406.3.0.pdf 5/
