As I toldWisconsin Public Radio 
<http://www.wpr.org/full-federal-appeals-court-wont-reconsider-voter-id-case>, 
the longer the delay, the less compelling the /Purcell/changing the 
rules argument in midstream becomes. I've explained why I think a stay 
request has (would have had?) a decent chancehere 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65892> andmy Slate piece 
<http://t.co/qfQifjt9jR>from yesterday puts Wisconsin into broader 
perspective in the heat up of the voting wars.

AP's Mark Sherman explains intwo 
<https://twitter.com/shermancourt/status/516958128450306049>tweets 
<https://twitter.com/shermancourt/status/516958899183034368>: "Why no 
orders today at#scotus <https://twitter.com/hashtag/scotus?src=hash>? 
Tradition gives way to effort to avoid embarrassment of granting cases 
with lurking procedural hiccups.(1/2) Court taking 2nd look before 
agreeing to hear cases (begun last year). But still need to fill Jan 
argument slots. So later this week? (2/2)"

Some day someone should write about the bizarre way that#SCOTUS 
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/SCOTUS?src=hash>treats the SCOTUS press 
corps. Of course ,anyone who writes about the bizarre way that#SCOTUS 
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/SCOTUS?src=hash>treats SCOTUS press corps 
will no longer be welcome by Court as part of corps.

Jesse Wegman blogs 
<http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/09/29/the-partisan-court-blocks-extended-voting-in-ohio/>at 
NYT's Taking Note blog: "There are reasonable arguments 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66036> to be made about why these 
particular restrictions are not the most burdensome in the country, 
since Ohio already has four weeks of early voting. Still, the plaintiffs 
made the argument --- accepted by a federal trial court 
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/072_order_granting_pi.pdf> and 
a three-judge appeals panel 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/us/ohio-appeals-court-clears-the-way-for-early-voting-to-start-next-week-.html> --- 
that the cuts violated both the Equal Protection Clause and the 
battered-but-still-standing Voting Rights Act."

Lylereports 
<http://www.scotusblog.com/2014/09/early-voting-in-ohio-blocked/#more-218273>: 
"Justice Elena Kagan turned down without comment a separate request by 
Ohio's legislature for the same kind of order postponing some of the 
early voting options.  The legislature has been allowed into the 
controversy only as a friend-of-the court, not as a full party.  Kagan 
chose to act on that request without referring it to her colleagues."

Andhere is a 
directive<http://www.sos.state.oh.us/sos/upload/elections/directives/2014/Dir2014-30.pdf>from 
HO SOS Husted explaining what early voting rules are in effect for the 
upcoming elections in light of the Supreme Court stay.

    Plaintiff a No-Show in #KSSEN Lawsuit to Force Dems to Choose
    Candidate <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=66054>

Holy cow: 
<http://cjonline.com/news/2014-09-29/no-ruling-bid-make-dems-fill-senate-candidate-vacancy>

    A three-judge Shawnee County panel did not decide Monday whether
    Kansas Democrats should be required to pick a replacement for Chad
    Taylor, who dropped out of the closely contested U.S. Senate
    campaign against longtime incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts.

    The court challenge seeking to force Democrats to fill the vacancy
    hit a stumbling block Monday when the man who filed the suit failed
    to show up for his day in court.

    The judges did not rule on whether the suit was still viable in
    light of the plaintiff's absence, preferring instead to hear more
    arguments before making a ruling they indicated would come before 2
    p.m. Wednesday -- the time Secretary of State Kris Kobach says
    ballots must be sent to printers.
