On July 9, the Ninth Circuit voted 2-1 to keep an Idaho injunctive in place. The U.S. District Court in Idaho had granted ballot access relief to an Idaho statewide initiative, due to the health crisis. The Ninth Circuit is also expediting the case. All the briefs are due this month. The argument will be August 10. Reclaim Idaho v Little, 20-35584.

The two judges who refused to grant a stay are Sidney M. Thomas, a Clinton appointee; and Mary M. Schroeder, a Carter appointee. The judge who would have stayed the U.S. District relief is Consuelo M. Callahan, a Bush Jr. apppointee.
