Yes.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who joined the court on Tuesday and who might have broken an earlier deadlock in the case, did not cast a vote. A court spokeswoman said Justice Barrett “did not participate in the consideration of this motion because of the need for a prompt resolution of it and because she has not had time to fully review the parties’ filings.”

Checking the math about 38-40%?

It takes 4 justices to agree to review a case, right? I'm surprised they didn't get 4 votes.

They did - it was deadlocked at 4-4

Unlike all other federal courts, the Supreme Court has discretion to decide which cases it will hear. The Supreme Court gets thousands of petitions for certiorari, but only issues a writ in a fraction of cases. The Court will only issue a writ if four of the nine Justices vote to do so. Justices usually take the importance of a given case and the need to issue a final decision before deciding to grant certiorari. If four Justices do not agree to grant certiorari, the petition is denied. If a case is "denied cert", the decision of the lower court is final.

Don't think you guys get it.

60% of eligible voters in 2016 voted. Highest of the last 20 years is 62%. To buckys point of more votes this year, I'm not sure how many more people are out there that want to vote. Another 5 or 6m over 2016(which is a lot if it's in the right states,but means Jack shit if it's CA or NY or MA)
