The court's 5-3 ruling means that absentee ballots will be counted only if they are in the hands of municipal clerks by the time polls close on Nov. 3.

The justices determined the courts shouldn't be the ones to decide the election rules amid the coronavirus pandemic that is surging in Wisconsin and across the world.

"The Constitution provides that state legislatures — not federal judges, not state judges, not state governors, not other state officials — bear primary responsibility for setting election rules," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a concurring opinion.

Help me out then...

What ballots do we know were not in hands of clerks by polls close?

I mean the obvious counting and counting was BS, but I am not making the relation to practice issue here.

PA says (lies) that the segregated ballots between before and after. They say after was insignificant (probably also lie). But I must be missing the “BOOM” here.
