Despite media spin and lies to the contrary, all ll that was denied was the Trump Campaign's attempt to skip ahead to save time. As illustrated in the dissents, that is shaky ground, at best.

[it's a 7-Justice panel]
Here are clips of just the juicy bits:
Alarmingly, the court's inaction also signals to the WEC that it may continue to administer elections in whatever manner it chooses, knowing that the court has repeatedly declined to scrutinize its conduct.
The majority's recent pattern of deferring or altogether dodging decisions on election law controversies cannot be reconciled with its lengthy history of promptly hearing cases involving voting rights and election processes under the court's original jurisdiction or by bypassing the court of appeals.
This year, the majority . . .declined to hear a claim that the WEC unlawfully kept the Green Party's candidates off of the ballot, ostensibly because the majority felt the candidates' claims were brought "too late." But when litigants have filed cases involving voting rights well in advance of Wisconsin elections, the court has "take[n] a pass," having neglected to identify any principles guiding its decisions.
The consequence of the majority operating by whim rather than rule is to leave the interpretation of multiple election laws in flux—or worse yet, in the hands of the unelected members of the WEC.
Once again, a majority of this court instead "chooses to sit idly by," in a nationally important and time-sensitive case involving voting rights and the integrity of Wisconsin's elections, depriving the people of Wisconsin of answers to questions of statutory law that only the state's highest court may resolve.
The majority's "refusal to hear this case shows insufficient respect to the State of [Wisconsin], its voters," and its elections.
Is there not a single goddamn body in any branch of Government that is not run by giant pussies?
Nope.
We elect people to go to D.C. because, otherwise, they'd be sitting around getting in our way. They had one fucking job. Go vote how you're told by constit, then sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up. Over generations, they turned that into positions of nobility and mind boggling graft.
Read the Constitution. It's startlingly short. Nothing in there authorizes the endless list of agencies.
Compare the Constitution to Obamacare. The Constitution and Bill of Rights can be printed on a couple of pages, using giant fonts. It formed the basis for the largest advances in all human history. It answers every question we have now concisely yet with shocking foresight and accuracy. Best of all, it defines very clear lines of authority and accountability that ultimately trace back to the People.
Obamacare is thousands of pages of "The Secretary shall..." and couldn't make a functioning website with several billion dollars.
Shorter answer: Go to DMV or the Post Office and let me know how much competence you see. I'd suggest going to a city council meeting, but that would drive any decent person to madness and murder.
Yup. Same thing all over.
I dare them to come try to enforce any of their bullshit with me. But I live in a very red county of a very red state. The local politicians still fear us here.
