This had nothing to do with fraud. It was whether or not individual counties and even election districts could declare rules that were those other than the law imposed by the constitutionally mandated process, that is, through the legislature.
Other states followed the law, those 4 states did not. So therefore they did prejudice the other states.
However, the justices bailed because they were afraid. But they’re setting off the very thing they were fearing.
I understand that.
I am saying that I think there are clearer constitutional issues, such as state executives and bureaucrats changing election laws and thereby usurping the constitional role given to state legislatures. But even beyond that, the fraud issues in breaking laws should lead to illegal votes being outright tossed.
To me what this case was about was less constitutionally suited to USSC relief, even though bringing a state against state case might have seemed the quicker and surer route to getting the USSC involved.
Agreed.
