This case is moot because it was already decided in Bush v. Gore (2000). The Supreme Court ruled at that time that courts do not have the authority to make or change election laws. The Court declared that only State Legislatures have that “authority derived from the United States Constitution, and derived from 3 U.S.C. §5.” Justice Rehnquist argued in addition that the recount order was invalid because it effectively created new election law in violation of Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, which reserves that power to the state legislatures.
Why they are hashing out issues that were already addressed and decided in a previous Supreme Court decision is beyond me.

Because the liberal NC courts wants to block the Republican legislature from redistricting. Suddenly gerrymandering is a problem for them, although the Dems did it for years.
