Attorney General Bonta Secures Decision Blocking Trump’s Unlawful Elections Order

OAKLAND - California Attorney General Rob Bonta today issued a statement on a decision by the District Court for the District of Massachusetts granting a preliminary injunction blocking unlawful provisions in President Donald Trump's unprecedented elections executive order. Attorney General Bonta co-led a coalition of 19 attorneys general in filing a lawsuit challenging the order in April 2025.

"Today, the court blocked the President's unconstitutional attempt to interfere with states' fundamental responsibilities to manage and administer our elections," said Attorney General Bonta. "Nothing is more fundamental to our democracy than the right to vote. We will continue to fight to ensure the President's anti-Democratic, anti-American attacks on voting are never implemented."
