"I know you are trying to bend over backwards to be fair, but you really aren't. You are doing the Dope pretzel twist." - Me

I just read Peter's reply and it makes me feel slightly better, but I still think he misses the point.

The election is in 72 days. Early voting starts in less than that in many states. States are already sending mail-in ballots to the printers. They are already making hiring plans for election workers. They are coordinating ballot drop off boxes with local businesses.

This throws a huge wrench into all of that by signaling to the states that everything could change later regarding mail-in voting.

At the very least, it certainly makes mail in voting much more risky and therefore discourages people from voting that way. I get how the SCOTUS majority can willfully ignore this, but how can smart people like Al and Peter not see this?
