This paper has been printing a mail-ballot ask at the Supreme Court as pending through the catch-up week, after Trump's third-appeal file earlier in September. Monday has no order in fetched copy. Pending is not a ruling. Silence from One First Street is not a granted stay.

Print pending. Do not print decided. Leave a named order to the edition that owns an order.

No Monday SCOTUS order is in the mail-ballot stack, so pending remains the word and not a granted stay.
A pending ask is still pending. Monday recap that treats One First Street silence as a ruling is a feed, not an order.
No Monday stay is in the mail-ballot stack, so pending remains the Court's word as this desk has it.
