So I'm reading https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wiwd.45522/gov.uscourts.wiwd.45522.1.0.pdf https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wiwd.45522/..., which is the original complaint.
In it the democratic party asks:
> while allowing all ballots postmarked on or before election day but received within a minimum of 10 days thereafter to be counted
This states that a ballot postmarked before April 7 but received up until the 13th should be counted. The Supreme Court said this is fine.
The district court instead ordered that ballots postmarked before April 13th be counted. This is not the same as being postmarked before April 7 but received by the 13th.
The Supreme Court 'struck down' an order mandating that ballots postmarked after the 13th be counted. They did not strike down the order that said that ballots received after election day (but mailed on or before election day) be counted.
Can you cite where in the complaint you see the party asking for the court to order any ballot postmarked before the 13th (rather than the 7th) be counted?
EDIT: I'm not trying to be combative, I just want to understand where you're coming from, and I don't see what you claim is there in the original complaint you cited.
