Does this automatically overrule all those other decisions by federal judges who have thrown out other states registrations laws?
I can’t be sure right now...I’ll need to read the declination (usually very simple) and then determine the genesis of the SCOTUS case.
It looks (to me) like:
If genesis is from the appellate court (Region 6?) then it applies only to the States in those regions with “exactly” the same VID laws. My guess is that only WI has this law-language and thereby is only valid for WI.
MI has a VID law also under consideration at ^some^ court level I think(yet still within the same appellate court region). I don’t believe it is the same law, linguistically, so, this non-decision may not impact the MI law or status of that court review.
Indiana has been approved, other States in the appellate district are either moving toward legislation or (ILL) doing nothing at all.
I pinged JPB for his knowledge of the several court (Fed/Appellate/State/, etc.) districts.
Noata bene: I R NOT a lawyer.
Even if it doesn’t set precedent, what it will do is allow states to model their laws on Wisconsins. With their voter laws based substantially on Wisconsins they should be legally unassailable.
