Fourth Judge In Two Weeks Voids Trump Election Order
Judge Talwani struck Sections 2 and 3 of EO 14399, ruling the presidency holds no constitutional role over electors.
- California led the states suing over Executive Order 14399's Sections 2 and 3.
- The ruling cites Trump v. United States: a president 'plays no direct role' in choosing electors.
- Three other judges, Sooknanan, Casper and Wetherell, struck similar orders within two weeks.
Why it matters: The presidency never held authority over electors; four rulings in two weeks only state what was already true.
