Judge William Conley writes that he can't delay the election -- that's up to @GovEvers and lawmakers. His decision allowing the election to take place may "further the public health crisis in this State. Unfortunately, that is beyond the power of this court to control."

An important footnote: "The court will reserve on the question as to whether the actual voter turnout, ability to vote on election day or overall conduct of the election and counting votes timely has undermined citizens’ right to vote."

That is, the judge is saying he will allow further challenges to the election after the election is held.

Conley: "There is no doubt that the rapidly approaching election date in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic means that citizens will face serious, and arguably unprecedented, burdens in exercising their right to vote in person."

Judge Conley: "An alarming number of poll workers have, understandably, cancelled their shifts, which is almost certain to lead to some degree of dysfunction on election day."
