House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the justices on the Supreme Court "party hacks" over its ruling in regard to Wisconsin's election earlier this month.
Wisconsin held its primary on April 7, despite several lawsuits to have voting delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. The decision made its way up to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which ruled in a 4-2 decision the day before the election that it would go on. The same day, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the state could not extend absentee voting in a split 5-4 vote.
"What happened in Wisconsin was unconscionable on the part of the United States Supreme Court," Pelosi said Sunday. "They turned themselves into party hacks. Party hacks. The court had said the election had to take place on that day, the court — the lower court — also said, though, there should be a consideration for more time, etc., for getting and counting absentee ballots. The Supreme Court even reversed that."
