The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday rejected the Green Party presidential candidate’s bid to be added to the state ballot, clearing the way for clerks to resume sending over a million absentee ballots requested by voters.

The high court ruled that Green Party nominee Howie Hawkins’s request to make it onto the state ballot came too late for any relief “that would not cause confusion and undue damage” a mere 7 weeks before the election, according to an opinion issued Monday (pdf).
