Ed. Note: Welcome to our daily feature Trivia Question of the Day!
Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrence in Democratic National Committee v. Wisconsin State Legislature has been criticized for a number of factual inaccuracies. Among them, Kavanaugh mistakenly wrote that which state (admitted to the United States in 1791 and acted as a counterweight to admission of the slaveholding state of Kentucky) has “decided not to make changes to their ordinary election rules” in response to the pandemic?
Hint: The state’s Secretary of State’s Office has said Kavanaugh’s claim is “simply not true.” Due to COVID-19, this state mailed every registered voter a ballot on Oct. 1, and this “factored into our decision to stick with an election day receipt deadline instead of postmark. We also authorized ballot processing 30 days out. Those are our [state] specific solutions, but other states needs are different. Count. Every. Vote.”
