PER CURIAM

The Seventh Circuit considered an emergency motion from the State of Indiana seeking to stay a preliminary injunction prohibiting the application of a statutory provision impacting voter eligibility. The Seventh Circuit granted the motion, explaining that lower federal courts should not ordinarily alter election rules on the eve of an election and that to do so would risk disruption of the primary election.
