California’s secretary of state plans to appeal a court verdict that blocked a state law requiring presidential candidates to disclose five years of tax returns in order to qualify to appear on primary ballots.

“California will appeal this ruling and we will continue to make our thorough, thoughtful argument for stronger financial disclosure requirements for presidential and gubernatorial candidates,” said Alex Padilla, the state’s chief elections officer, in a statement.
