The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday blocked the Democrats’ attempt to delay counting ballots received up until the 9th of November — a week after the election.
If the ruling stands, absentee ballots will have to be delivered to Wisconsin election clerks by 8 p.m. on Election Day if they are to be counted. Results of the presidential race in the pivotal swing state would be known within hours of polls closing.
