The opinion did not give the power to legislators to choose electors. A preliminary injunction was issued to maintain the status quo and keep the Secretary of State from taking further steps to certify pending a full hearing in this case. The judge did say in her ruling that the plaintiffs had a likelihood of success of showing that the law passed that allowed absentee (mail in) ballots without a specific reason the voter couldn’t vote in person was not valid. The state constitution clearly says absentee votes are only allowed in these specific circumstances and they only passed legislation allowing absentee for anyone who wants a mail in ballot but did not amend the state constitution.
