Kavanaugh Alone Rejects Bid To Block Michigan Citizens-Only Vote Measure

Kavanaugh Alone Rejects Bid To Block Michigan Citizens-Only Vote Measure

Docket 26A275 shows the justice denying the emergency application on September 3, 2026, without sending the case to the full Court.

  • Docket No. 26A275: Supreme Court records the application denied on September 3, 2026.
  • Michigan election officials had asked Kavanaugh to block the citizens-only voting ballot measure.
  • Kavanaugh ruled alone as Circuit Justice for the 6th Circuit, no referral to the other eight.

Why it matters: One justice, one entry on a docket, decided an election fight the other eight never reviewed.
