the hysteria that always originates from the establishment that is never true and has destroyed their credibility

They no longer need credibility.

“The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority”

ha!

The best you can say is 6 are not 100% partisan hacks and I’m not even sure about that.

I have thought for awhile that each state being in complete control of federal voting could be a conflict of interest, unless everyone was honest and law-abiding.

I don’t know much about your laws, but it seems to me that dem controlled states could certainly do a number on a presidential candidate. I don’t know what the answer is, other than separate ballots for president? Of course it could work in reverse.....feds in charge of presidential election and controlling some red states.

Oh what a dangled web we weave.....

The doctrine is based in part on language in the Constitution that the "times, places and manner" of federal elections "shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof."

It is just in the Constitution, therefore it is a "marginal legal theory"./S

If this is upheld, which it should be, the Alaska ranked choice voting is right out. It was never approved by the legislature.

If Elias is against it, I’m for it. Here in Pas., voter I.D. was passed into law in April of an election year. It was overturned in a Philly court 2 weeks before the election. That is the lind of crap they pull here.

What they also have to do is leave the legal definition of a Governor’s Emergency Powers up to Legislatures and ONLY Legislatures. What happened in NC in 2020 was the SSC declared that the Governor could basically do whatever he wanted under Emergency Powers and that included voiding rules for absentee ballots.

One sided propaganda disguised as “news.” Yahoo! is as much a joke as CNN and the Washington Compost.

"The doctrine is based in part on language in the Constitution that the "times, places and manner" of federal elections "shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof.""

That language seems pretty plain to me....

"State courts" don't have the power, but state legislatures most certainly do, although the interference of federal judges in the name of "reducing discrimination" has seemed to over-ride that.

state courts do not have a **blank check** to rewrite state election laws for federal elections.

True it’s why they received cold hard cash to do it ever see the Mafia pay off in checks.

The article states what the Constitution plainly says. It's all up to the state legislatures. The courts have no business interfering.

The current version of 'ISL' was dreamed up by conservative ideologues who don't want voters to have more rights and therefore have been eroding voting rights across the board," said Marc Elias, a prominent election lawyer who has represented the Democratic Party in numerous court cases.
"It's a mission by conservative academics and others to undermine the ability to protect regular citizens' rights to vote," Elias added.

What does he mean by "regular citizens" rights to vote?

Non-citizens?

Dead citizens?

Imaginary citizens?
