Correction on the Lawrence case:  it deals with deadlines for candidates for office other than president.
Also, it looks like it was four decisions today, but only three opinions.  One of the decisions apparently was a remand for the lower court to reconsider in light of another opinion decided today.

Lyle Denniston reports that the Court issued four opinions today, but not in either pending elections case. I don't know when the Court will start issuing opinions on Thursdays. Otherwise, the next opportunity for opinions appears to be June 12.

The Court also denied cert in Lawrence v. Blackwell, a case Richard Winger flagged as an interesting case on independent presidential candidate filing deadlines.
