Rubberstamps!
SCOTUS majority says Wisconsin voters must either vote in person tomorrow or get their absentee ballots postmarked tomorrow to count. There are no other options now. There is still a backlog of absentee requests to process. Those ballots will presumably all be wasted.

Let me be very clear about this. Tens of thousands of Wisconsinites will not receive their absentee ballots by Election Day BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, THOUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN.

The U.S. Supreme Court's five conservatives just said: "Too bad. You don't get to vote."
They are throwing away ballots. They are literally going to not count votes. We Democrats need to understand the magnitude of the Republicans enterprise here. They are systematically going to try to make it less easy, and less safe, to vote. https://t.co/3g0othYq26

Supreme Court: We're going to delay oral arguments for the first time since the Spanish flu because this pandemic is an extraordinary time & also we don't know how to use Zoom.

Also Supreme Court: There's no reason people shouldn't still have to show up to the polls in-person.
All they have to do to steal the November election is require close to 100% in person voting in the middle of a second wave deadly pandemic, and this very much seems like a dry run of the strategy.
I’ll still get to vote by mail, but as I live in California, my presidential vote doesn’t count for much.
