| Description | The state Supreme Court told election officials Thursday that absentee ballots should not be mailed for now while the court determines whether they should include the Green Party's presidential ticket.
The 4-3 order fell along ideological lines, with the conservatives in the majority and the liberals in dissent.
The central question of the moment for the court is how many absentee ballots may have already been mailed to voters.
Most ballots have already been printed and requiring them to be reprinted with the names of more candidates could cause significant delays, according to election officials. Those delays could make it harder for some voters to cast ballots, particularly those who live overseas or are serving in the military. |
