This order should form no part of any voter’s decision whether to vote for this proposed amendment,” the judge said.

Plaintiffs' attorneys say the state is interfering in the Amendment 4 vote. The state's lawyers contend public agencies are required to opine on policy. The judge says he will “do his best” to make a ruling soon.

The case stems from a controversial website and ads that the the state Agency for Health Care Administration has used to disseminate information about Amendment 4, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state Constitution.
