Sec. 15511. Actions by the Attorney General for declaratory and injunctive relief
The Attorney General may bring a civil action against any State or jurisdiction in an appropriate United States District Court for such declaratory and injunctive relief (including a temporary restraining order, a permanent or temporary injunction, or other order) as may be necessary to carry out the uniform and nondiscriminatory election technology and administration requirements under sections 15481, 15482, and 15483 of this title.
(Pub. L. 107-252, title IV, Sec. 401, Oct. 29, 2002, 116 Stat. 1715.)
The U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL has standing to bring an action to enforce Section 15483, which is the provision of the Help America Vote Act that the Ohio GOP tried to enforce.
So WHERE is the Bush Department of Justice? Asleep at the switch??
Great Catch!
Thanks for the info. I think you’re exactly right.
Looking at the decision again, I think the SCOTUS is making clear that somebody else has to file this.
There will be a refiling soon.
