U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania Issues Temporary Restraining Order Against Out-of-State Circulator Ban for Democratic Presidential Primary Petitions

On January 31, U.S. District Court Judge Yvette Kane issued a temporary restraining order against the Pennsylvania law that won’t let out-of-state circulators work for Democratic presidential primary candidates. However, it only applies to the plaintiffs, a paid petitioning company called Accelerate 2020 and Joe Pool. Accelerate 2020 v Boockvar, m.d., 1:20cv-128. Here is the eight-page order.

The case had been filed January 24, 2020, and a conference with the judge had been held January 30. This decision was made possible by the victory earlier this month in a similar case filed in 2016, Benezet v Cortes.
