12  DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE v. WISCONSIN 

STATE LEGISLATURE 
KAGAN, J., dissenting 

COVID pandemic rages, the Court has failed to adequately 
protect the Nation’s voters.   

* 

  * 

  * 
  For all these reasons, I would vacate the court of appeals’ 
stay.    The  facts,  as  found  by  the  district  court,  are  clear: 
Tens  of  thousands  of  Wisconsinites,  through  no  fault  of 
their own, may receive their mail ballots too late to return 
them  by  Election  Day.   Without the district court’s  order, 
they  must  opt  between  “brav[ing]  the  polls,”  with  all  the 
risk that entails, and “los[ing] their right to vote.”  Repub-
lican National Committee, 589 U. S., at ___ (Ginsburg, J., 
dissenting) (slip op., at 6).  The voters of Wisconsin deserve 
a better choice.
