> The ruling did not, however, invalidate hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots already in the hands of New York voters as Republicans asked the judge to do — at least not for now.

While it’s infuriating they tried to cancel my vote, this decision is relatively limited and just blocks the election boards from pre-canvassing the ballots.

It’s stupid and will lead to delays but at least so far even this tame Republican judge upstate wasn’t willing to go as far as the fascists asked her to.
