Missouri is Suing New York Over First Amendment Right to Vote for President

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has filed a lawsuit against the state of New York, claiming that the sentencing of former President Donald Trump violates Missourians’ First Amendment right to hear from a presidential candidate in the 2024 election.

Bailey argues that the legal actions taken against Trump undermine his ability to campaign for president, thereby preventing Missourians from casting a fully informed vote. He has called on the Supreme Court to exercise its original jurisdiction under Article III, Section II of the Constitution to resolve the legal dispute between Missouri and New York.

“We’re going to continue to fight against lawfare in all of its forms, not only by entering and filing briefs in the other illicit witch hunt prosecutions of President Trump, but also fighting to expose and make transparent the collusion between Biden’s Department of Justice and the illicit witch hunt prosecutions at the state level, and fighting censorship and the silencing of not only President Trump’s voice but of listeners in Missouri,” Bailey told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The lawsuit seeks to address the broader implications of state-level legal actions on national political discourse and voter rights.
