Litigation challenging the validity of statutes and regulations governing the electoral process has become a staple of nearly every federal election cycle. Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's barrage of constitutional and other challenges to various state laws governing the electoral process, commencing over a year-and-a-half before the 2016 presidential election, is merely the latest front in the ongoing Voting Wars. Left-wing partisans routinely challenge measures such as voter identification laws and reductions in early voting periods. A Plaintiff-Oriented Injunction precludes the government defendants from enforcing the challenged provision against the successful plaintiffs in the case, while leaving them free to enforce the provision against other members of the public. Such an order is generally sufficient to resolve the case or controversy before the court and vindicate the plaintiffs' rights, without adjudicating or enforcing the rights of third parties not before the court that the plaintiffs lack standing to assert.
