North Carolina has filedthis emergency stay request 
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/nc-petition.pdf>with 
Chief Justice Roberts.  The three-judge lower courthas denied the stay 
<http://www.wral.com/nc-redistricting-case-heads-to-us-supreme-court/15343601/#1> filed 
in that court.

I think the Supreme Court is very likely to grant the stay even if, as 
likely, it upholds the judgment in this case on the merits.As I’ve 
explained <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=79650>, absentee voting has 
already occurred in these elections. The Supreme Court has been very 
wary of allowing court changes to election rules just before the 
election. (Seethis 
paper<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2545676>on the 
Purcell Principle).
