        So, I'm not sure I follow here. What exactly is preventing the court from allowing the special elections?

        This is the same thing that was done 2 allow an election 2 take place under the immoral unethical yet somewhat legal gerrymandering in 2010

        @rickhasen Can you folks interpret this for us laymen? Does it mean "order stayed until we deal with it?" or something else?
