Today, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania swiftly rejected a lawsuit aimed at challenging the Shapiro Administration’s power to roll out automatic voter registration. The lawsuit, deemed frivolous, questioned the administration’s legal standing to introduce such a measure.
Following the court’s decision, Governor Josh Shapiro made a statement celebrating the victory. He recalled his past success in 2020 when he and his team defeated Donald Trump and his supporters in over 40 legal battles, which were crucial for safeguarding Pennsylvanians’ voting rights and ensuring access to the ballot box.

Shapiro highlighted that today’s triumph over a baseless attempt to block automatic voter registration in Pennsylvania reaffirms his administration’s commitment to maintaining a secure, efficient, and legally sound voting process.
Governor Shapiro emphasized his dedication to preserving democracy and guaranteeing that elections in the state remain transparent, equitable, secure, and protected.
He used this opportunity to caution against taking legal advice from Donald Trump, suggesting that doing so is a strategy doomed to fail. According to Shapiro, this recent court decision serves as a testament to his ongoing resolve to defend democratic processes and voter access in Pennsylvania.
