Kavanaugh Gives Michigan Hours To Answer Citizens-Only Voting Fight
Americans for Citizen Voting-Michigan filed the emergency plea Monday, and the justice set a noon Wednesday deadline for the state board's reply.
- Docket No. 26A275 asks the justices to force the amendment onto Michigan's ballot before printing deadlines.
- Americans for Citizen Voting-Michigan filed the application Monday against the state Board of Canvassers.
- Justice Brett Kavanaugh, as circuit justice, ordered a response by noon EDT today, September 2.
Why it matters: One justice's clock, not the voters, now decides whether this question ever reaches a ballot.
