First time I've heard of the Supreme Court losing a petition for certiorari. How could that happen?

If Lautenberg wins, couldn't the court just issue a holding on the merits of the case, rule that a state cannot do this sort of thing in the future, vacate the NJ SC's decision, and leave action with respect to the Senate seat to the U.S. Senate, as a nonjusticiable political question?

By the way, what's the status of the servicemen's federal case filed in Trenton federal district court?

The serviceman's case about his absentee ballot was rejected last Monday. That issue is dead and will remain dead.
