To update on other ~matters~ outstanding: No news from the courts in the 6th Circuit re: Trump's TRO appeal or in NJ Dist Ct on DNC v. RNC.
-
-
Federal judge had barred presidential campaigns & others from taking a variety of actions, including impeding voters and photographing them.
-
The Trump campaign appealed the order, arguing that it wasn't justified and risked violating people's First Amendment rights.
-
Today, the Sixth Circuit ruled on the first issue — holding that the Democrats had not demonstrated that they were likely to win the case.
-
As such, they issued a stay of the district court's order — effectively nullifying the judge's order in Ohio.
-
This does NOT mean campaigns can intimidate Ohio voters. It just means this order barring specific conduct is no longer in effect.

FYI: The 6th Circuit denied the initial en banc request in the Ohio voter intimidation case TRO appeal ... FWIW.

@marceelias is not happy with the 6th Circuit, calling the court's action "a cursory order with no basis in law." https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/appeals-court-no-new-anti-voter-intimidation-rules-in-place?utm_term=.kdNM80bxen#.ogK35NmoOv …pic.twitter.com/IDBcMq7psQ

@rickhasen raises an interesting question about Justice Ginsburg, given her anti-Trump comments this summer —> http://electionlawblog.org/?p=88899 -
Note: We are yet to hear anything, even a call for a response, from Kagan on Dems' Ohio application to vacate 6th Cir stay.
