Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has taken legal action against the state of New York, accusing them of violating Missourians’ first amendment rights by interfering with former President Trump’s ability to campaign for presidency. Bailey claims that New York’s prosecution, gag orders, and sentencing of Trump are undermining the democratic process and attempting to influence the 2024 election outcome.
In a statement, Bailey expressed his concerns about New York’s actions, stating that they are trying to rig the election by preventing Missourians from hearing from and voting for their preferred presidential candidate. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that every voter has the opportunity to make an informed decision and exercise their right to choose their candidate.
Bailey’s lawsuit is seeking to stop any further actions in the New York case until after the presidential election, in order to protect the rights of Missourians to participate in the democratic process without interference. This legal battle highlights the ongoing tensions between states and their roles in shaping the electoral landscape, and raises questions about the limits of state power in national elections.
