Well, I am glad you are amazed. The feds WILL be involved. That’s why there is a separate case in the federal courts which, without me looking, will most likely focus on so called voting rights.
The SCOTUS rules on voter ID laws all the time...Texas, Kansas, N. Dakota..a lot of them.

Completely non-responsive and, quite frankly, willfully ignorant.

This exact thing happened in Pennsylvania in 2014. See Applewhite v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The Federal Courts can only get involved if a federal right is implicated. If the decision is based solely on State grounds, or on adequate and independent State grounds, the federal courts cannot get involved as it relates to THAT decision. A separate federal lawsuit adjudicating the federal issues may be completely irrelevant to the State issues.

So, as I already stated, this will depend on if the decision is couched solely in terms of a State Constitutional right, or if there are federal grounds involved.
