PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER
ALETA A. TRAUGER, District Judge.
For the reasons explained in the accompanying Memorandum, the plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Docket No. 54) is hereby GRANTED. The court finds that the plaintiffs have demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits, that they would suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted, and that the public interest strongly favors granting the injunction. The defendants are therefore ORDERED not to take any steps to implement, enforce, conduct investigations pursuant to, or assist in any prosecution under Tenn. Code Ann. § 2-2-142(a), Tenn. Code Ann. § 2-2-142(e)-(g), Tenn. Code Ann. § 2-2-143, or Tenn. Code Ann. § 2-19-145. Nothing in this Order should be construed to limit any official's authority to enforce any other provisions of the state's election code, regardless of whether the activity to which the code is being applied would also constitute a violation of any of the enjoined provisions.
It is so ORDERED.
