Supreme Court rejects second GOP effort to block mail-ballot extension in North Carolina
By John Kruzel - 10/29/20 02:33 PM EDT
The Supreme Court on Thursday denied a Republican bid to block a mail-ballot extension in North Carolina, a day after rejecting a similar GOP effort in the key battleground state.
The court's three most conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito — would have granted the Republican request.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who joined the bench Tuesday, took no part in considering the case.

This is insane. Meaning the amount of time the extension grants.
However, I read that this could be reopened at a later time since it is so close to the election.
