      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Matthew DeFour

      Not sure this is a good decision, but it was basically a reaction to the District Court. As in Bush v Gore, things get dicey when SCOTUS is asked to review a state election law written by a court, rather than by a legislature.https://twitter.com/WSJMattD4/status/1247304424894185474 …

      There is no postmark requirement in state law. The lower court judge changed the date, but did not add a postmark. The U.S. Supreme Court has just written a new election law in Wisconsin.

      That said, there really is no good reason for Wisconsin to be holding a primary right now at all.

      Judges are uniquely unsuited to write election laws. SCOTUS continues to struggle with how best to handle situations where the lower court decision has rewritten the law, but comes out again & again against judicial innovations that cut legislatures out of the job.

      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Steven Shepard

      Right. The Court is inventing a law out of whole cloth to allow more votes to be counted. It got stuck in that position due to a long train of bad decisions by Gov. Evers, WI legislators, the lower courts, & the litigants.https://twitter.com/POLITICO_Steve/status/1247307174365323264 …

      Dan McLaughlin added,

      The characterization of the Supreme Court rejecting the extended absentee ballot deadline is not quite complete. The court is still allowing ballots to arrive by April 13 *as long as they are postmarked* by tomorrow. Typically, mail ballots have to *be received* on Election Day.

      The better decision in any sane situation would be to tell the legislature to live with the rules as written or fix them. Unfortunately, we have the Court getting the case the night before Election Day with a pandemic ongoing & nobody trying to resolve thru the political process.

          This is, in any situation, not conducive to good judicial decisionmaking, particularly when the Justices can't even sit in the same room. Thus, a sloppy decision & an essentially lawless dissent.

          No we have a controlling party with all control using the pandemic to ensure suppressed voting.

          I am pretty sure the Democrats wanted this to be resolved by the political process

          The gop legislature has no interest in resolving it and gerrymandering in WI has and will keep them in power meaning even the voters can’t remedy

          The legislature is living within the rules as written. The governor, today, tried to take some control of the election process. 5 days ago he said he didn't have the power to do what he tried to do today. He was right...

          “Nobody trying time resolve it through the political process” = Wisconsin legislature not accepting any Dem proposal to reschedule an obviously dangerous election date
