U.S. Supreme Court Stays Lower Court Orders from Oregon that had Granted Ballot Access Relief to Initiatives

On August 11, the U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay in the Oregon lawsuit over ballot access relief for initiatives. The lower courts had given relief because of the health crisis. The vote is 7-2. Justices Sotomayor and Ginsburg would not have granted the stay. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.

This means that the only ballot access relief granted to any initiatives due to the health crisis, by any federal court, has been in Nevada, where the U.S. District Court had granted relief and the state had not appealed. The U.S. Supreme Court has eliminated ballot access relief for initiatives in every instance in which it was asked to decide, which are cases from Idaho, Oregon, and Michigan.
