- The leaked orders included a ruling to take up a death penalty case from Alabama involving a defendant with intellectual disabilities, as well as a decision to dismiss a Republican National Committee challenge aimed at restricting Pennsylvania voters from casting a replacement ballot if their mail-in ballot was defective.
