Introduction

The case dropped by the Supreme Court just a couple days ago on Monday April 6th concerning Wisconsin's elections. Republican National Committee filed for a stay of that order with the Seventh Circuit the appellate court who declined it. They then applied to the Supreme Court who granted it and held that absentee ballots would only be accepted if they were postmarked by April 7th the day after the decision. This caused a bit of a stir due to the fact that it is reducing absentee voting in the middle of a global pandemic the likes of which no one alive has ever seen.
