In another blow to President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections, a federal appeals court has refused — for now — to let the U.S. Postal Service carry out “unprecedented levels of involvement by federal officials” in nearly two dozen states.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision over the weekend favoring blue states led by California, left in place a lower court order blocking the implementation of Trump’s late-March executive order 14399, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections.”
Favoring blue states? Motherfucker, favoring everyone*, even the fucking idiots that don’t know any better.
Practically speaking you’re correct, but legally speaking they favored the plaintiffs in this case, which were a collection of blue states. Like literally the states:
STATE OF CALIFORNIA; COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS; STATE OF NEVADA; STATE OF WASHINGTON; STATE OF ARIZONA; STATE OF COLORADO; STATE OF CONNECTICUT; STATE OF DELAWARE; DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA; STATE OF ILLINOIS; STATE OF MAINE; STATE OF MARYLAND; STATE OF MICHIGAN; STATE OF MINNESOTA; STATE OF NEW JERSEY; STATE OF NEW MEXICO; STATE OF NEW YORK; STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA; STATE OF OREGON; STATE OF RHODE ISLAND; STATE OF VERMONT; COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA; STATE OF WISCONSIN; JOSH SHAPIRO, in the official capacity as Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Ah, I forgot that was a legal term
