Supreme Court blocks extended absentee voting in Wisconsin primary

17. There were also states that didn't.

It didn't help this case that the legislature considered and opted not to change the date (when the Constitution leaves this up to the states) and that the WI supreme court also opted not to move the date.

That left absentee ballots. SCOTUS didn't so much block as not mandate--there's a not so subtle difference. If I ask the court to do something and they decline, it's hardly blocking; I think of blocking as asking the court to *stop* something from happening.

It doesn't help that there's opposition and polarization worked in there. On the other hand, it's also true when the (R) governor of OH postponed the elections, there were people saying he did it just because he was (R) and he shouldn't have. That's the power of being politically ODD.
