The order does not say how any justice voted, as is usual on the emergency docket.
Half of 300 rulings on applications decided without a response came 8 to 28 days after filing, and the median was 14 days; this one was ruled on 14 days after filing.

What it means

The denial refused only a temporary pause; it does not decide who wins the underlying dispute. The Fourth Circuit ruling remains in place, and no related Supreme Court case on the underlying question or argument is listed.
