Interesting interpretation. Thanks. Gives me a bit of hope
First, it is premature for the Supreme Court to interject itself into this situation, especially because the NC state legislature has full control over the election and can address the issue with a legislative remedy up until the day of the election. To do would be usurping the prerogatives of the state legislature, which is inconsistent with both the Originalist/Constructionist philosophy as well as with the concept of judicial restraint.
More importantly, waiting until after the unfair and unlawful abuse of the voting system has occurred gives the justices the ability to make a very broad ruling based on the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution that empowers them to reign in the more egregious abuses undermining the electoral system we are seeing, especially in Democrat run states.
