The court ruled that the state must enforce its original ballot deadline.
federal appeals court has blocked a lower-court decision to extend the deadline for counting absentee ballots in battleground Wisconsin.
The decision is considered a win for Republicans who wanted the election night deadline to stand, under state law. However, Democrats are expected to appeal the decision Thursday to the Supreme Court.
If the appeals court ruling stands, absentee ballots must be delivered to Wisconsin election clerks by 8 p.m. on Election Day, adhering to state law.
Last month, U.S. District Judge William Conley ruled that any ballot that arrived in clerk’s offices by Nov. 9 will be counted, as long as they were postmarked by Nov. 3.
The 7th Circuit Court judges initially upheld Conley’s ruling on Sept. 29, rejecting the Republicans’ standing to intervene. After the Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed that standing, the same three-judge panel delivered Thursday’s ruling, according to the Associated Press.
