The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday ordered a stoppage to the mailing of absentee ballots amid lawsuits by rap mogul Kanye West and Green Party presidential candidate Howie Hawkins, who are both seeking to get on the ballot, with the high court decision sparking concern among election officials as it comes a week ahead of the state deadline to mail absentee ballots to anyone who requested one.
The state Supreme Court, by a 4-3 split decision, said no ballots can be sent until it issues an approval or makes a future ruling about who should be on the ballot.
