On October 23, the Eighth Circuit refused to stay the order of the U.S. District Court in Craig v Simon, 20-3126. This means that the state must hold an election for U.S. House, 2nd district, on November 3, 2020, even though a state law says that when a major party nominee dies shortly before the election, that election must be postponed to February.
The Republican Party nominee, who objects to holding the election on November 3, then asked for U.S. Supreme Court intervention, which is pending. Case 20A73. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.
How many cases on the now infamous SCOTUS ***shadow docket*** waiting for Barrett ???

Six comments in a row? Seriously Demo Rep, get a life.
In his defense, most of them were in the 6:55 – 7:30 PM range. 😛
Regardless of the ignorant–
what SCOTUS does in election stuff is life or death stuff.

Judge: US can’t replace Trump in columnist’s slander suit
Larry Neumeiser, Associated Press Published 9:50 a.m. ET Oct. 27, 2020
New York – A federal judge on Tuesday denied President Donald Trump’s request that he be replaced as the defendant in a defamation lawsuit alleging he raped a woman in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan came after the Justice Department argued that the United States – and by extension U.S. taxpayers – should replace Trump as the defendant in a lawsuit filed by the columnist E. Jean Carroll.

How many *personal* / private lawsuits against the wannabee TYRANT Trump ???
With Barrett on the Supreme Court, the chances for a 1876 type election has increased, IMO. Republicans are now temped to challenge the votes from contested states.
WZ –
12th Amdt — Congress hacks ONLY to COUNT EC votes.
NO Congress hack power to rule on legality of EC votes — up to courts.
IE – possible major SCOTUS crisis with moronic / UNCONSTITUTIONAL 1887 EC USA law.
@WZ,
17th Amendment would seem to preclude a repeat of 1876.
