BREAKING: 6th Circuit issues stay of Ohio voter intimidation case TRO, halting enforcement of order that Trump campaign had opposed.pic.twitter.com/QV3KOTtXJA
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 It just means this order barring specific conduct is no longer in effect.
My report —> 6th Circuit: No New Anti-Voter Intimidation Rules In Place In Ohio For This Election https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/appeals-court-no-new-anti-voter-intimidation-rules-in-place?utm_term=.sjEPX9rV4L … via @BuzzFeedNews
FYI: The 6th Circuit denied the initial en banc request in the Ohio voter intimidation case TRO appeal ... FWIW. #lawdorkpic.twitter.com/x6K4SvsV8C

.@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. #SCOTUS
