Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : The order said that Riggs recused herself from the matter and that Associate Justice Anita Earls, the other Democrat on the court, opposed the stay in part because the "public interest requires that the Court not interfere with the ordinary course of democratic processes as set by statute and the state constitution.
31% : Griffin disagreed, and so did U.S. District Judge Richard Myers, who on Monday returned the case to the state Supreme Court.Myers -- a nominee to the bench by Donald Trump -- wrote that Griffin's protests raised "unsettled questions of state law" and had tenuous connections to federal law.
