Liberal groups and Democrats from Wisconsin have asked the Supreme Court in a series of emergency applications to reinstate pandemic-related changes to election rules, including extending the deadline for the receipt of absentee ballots six days beyond Election Day.

While a federal district court judge had ordered these changes, they were stayed by an appeals court.
