A conservative law firm asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday to quickly overturn an appeals court ruling that stopped the purging of more than 200,000 people from the state’s voter rolls, a move that Democrats argued was intended to make it more difficult for their voters to cast ballots.

Moments after the filing, a conservative justice on the Supreme Court who previously sat out the case because he’s on the ballot on April 7 said he would “rethink” that decision after the election. The court deadlocked 3-3 without Justice Dan Kelly’s participation when asked to take the case earlier, so he could be a deciding vote.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, which is representing three voters, asked the state Supreme Court to expedite its consideration of the case so it can be resolved before the November presidential election. Wisconsin is a narrowly divided state that is expected to be one of a handful that could determine whether President Donald Trump wins re-election.
