OK, someone tell me how a Federal court has jusridiction over what is clearly a state matter. The state officials should just say, "Thank you for your opinion," and go on with obeying the laws as they're written.
This ruling will not stand, but it SURE looks like the Judiciary, and most probably SCOTUS is going to be forced to decide the 2004 Presidential election . . . .
Seriously? The Fourteenth Amendment, the Voting Rights Act, and the Supremacy clause.
