So is this precedent now?
All States to follow?
Hell no, they will strike it down within 6 months.
nope
The left will continue to fight it tooth and nail. Only “our side” gives up and calls something “settled law”.
“So is this precedent now?”
All should carefully note that what SCOTUS ruled is that the law CAN be implemented in this election.
The Injustice Dept. and several leftists groups sought an emergency hearing and ruling after TX appealed the lower court decision. The lower court said the law CANNOT be implemented in this election. The groups wanted SCOTUS to confirm the lower court.
Instead, SCOTUS voided that decision and said the election could proceed under the TX law because it was too late to change it right before the election.
So, this isn’t precedent on the merits of the case for/against TX voter ID.
Think of it more as a technical ruling as opposed to a substantive ruling.

I’m amending my first comment to you.
All should carefully note that what SCOTUS ruled is that the law CAN be implemented in this election.
The Injustice Dept. and several leftists groups sought an emergency hearing and ruling after an appeals court overturned a federal judge who had ruled the law cannot be implemented, period. The appeals court said it is too late to suddenly block implementation this close to the election.
So, this isn’t precedent on the merits of the case for/against TX voter ID.
Think of it more as a technical ruling as opposed to a substantive ruling.
(What I got wrong in my first comment was that SCOTUS was overturning a lower court.
No, it upheld the appeals court, which has overturned the ruling of a single federal district judge.)
