AG Kaul Wins Preliminary Injunction Over Unlawful Election Executive Order

MADISON, Wis. – Attorney General Josh Kaul and a multistate coalition on Friday secured a court order that blocks the Trump Administration from implementing mandates in Executive Order No. 14248 (the Elections Executive Order), an unconstitutional attempt to upend common-sense, well-established state procedures for counting ballots.

“With parts of his elections executive order, President Trump once again claimed power that the president does not have,” said AG Kaul. “The president shouldn’t be trying to change how elections are run by executive order.”

In bringing the lawsuit, AG Kaul was joined by the attorneys general of Maryland, Delaware, California, Colorado, Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, the District of Columbia, and the states of Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
