The Emergency Rules of the Supreme Court permit any grant of, or refusal of, injunctive relief to be taken all the way up the federal food chain from the trial court. The fact that the Ninth stayed its Order a week to allow for an appeal means that
all election officials, candidates and others may continue right now as if the election is still on.However, that self-granted stay of the Order does NOT affect the right of any aggrieved parties to go either to the whole Ninth Circuit, or to the Supreme Court, or both. In fact, it recognizes and allows for those very possibilities.
