Breaking: 7th Circuit Grants in Part, Denies in Part Order Modifying Wisconsin Election Procedures

You can find the 7th Circuit’s order at this link. In the unsigned order (I don’t even see the names of the judges on the panel), the court denied a request to stay that portion of the extending the time for requesting an absentee ballot in the upcoming Wisconsin election by one day and extending the time for receipt of absentee ballots until April 13. The court granted a stay of that part of the district court’s order which allowed people who could not get witness certification for an absentee ballot request to provide instead an attestation that they were unable to do so. [This language has been tweaked to clarify the partial grant of a stay.]

The appeals court noted that neither party appealed that part of the district court’s order declining to extend the date of the election.
