This temporary restraining order gives our state and county election officials the ability to move forward with the 2026 midterm elections as planned.

This will be an unmitigated disaster if the injunction is lifted.

This is truly bizarre behavior by the federal agency that is supposed to be protecting civil rights.

It’s definitely hard to see trade-offs for something that is imminent and much needed versus standing on principle and following the rule of law.

if we don’t have the rule of law, we don’t have anything, we don’t have a country, we don’t have freedom, and if we’re willing to trade those things in the moment, then we’re willing to risk an awful lot for temporary gains.
