| Filing 29 COURT ORDER. Plaintiffs Palo Pinto County Conservatives, Grass Roots Mineral Wells PAC, and Johanna Miller challenge Palo Pinto Countys electioneering regulations for the grounds surrounding the County's main polling location. Because plaintiffs have demonstrated a strong likelihood of success that certain sections of the regulations violate their first amendment rights and because the other injunction factors weigh in their favor, we GRANT an injunction pending appeal as to sections 2(a) (prohibiting political signs outside the voting period of an election); 2(c) (prohibiting political signs over 36 square feet); 2(e) (prohibiting political signs on permanent structures); 2(f) (prohibiting more than six signs per candidate); and 3(b) (prohibiting electioneering on sidewalks or driveways outside the designated area); and DENY an injunction pending appeal as to the remaining sections. The clerks office is instructed to EXPEDITE this appeal to the next available merits panel and issue an expedited briefing schedule. [ # 8 ]; [ # 8 ] [24-10432] (MFY) [Entered: 05/19/2024 01:37 PM] |
