18  DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE v. WISCONSIN 
STATE LEGISLATURE 
KAVANAUGH, J., concurring 

lines,  mask  requirements,  and  sanitizing  protocols.    The 
District  Court  acknowledged  that  in-person  voting  can  be 
done  “safely”  again  in  November  “if  the  majority  of  votes 
are cast in advance, sufficient poll workers, polling places, 
and PPE are available, and social distancing and masking 
protocols  are  followed.”    Bostelmann,  ___  F. Supp.  3d,  at 
___.    If  a  voter  requests  a  ballot  at  the  last  minute—long 
after the State has told voters that they should request bal-
lots—and if that voter does not receive a ballot by election 
day, the voter still has the option of voting in person.  That 
said,  the  better  option,  as  Wisconsin  has  repeatedly  an-
nounced, is for voters who wish to vote absentee to request 
and submit their ballots well ahead of time.  That is what 
tens  of  millions  of  voters  across  America—including  more 
than one million voters in Wisconsin—have already done.

  For those reasons, I concur in the denial of the applica-
tions to vacate the stay.
