Keith, the USSC has appellate jurisdiction over both federal circuit courts of appeals and the 50 state supreme courts -- Article III of the US Constitution.
That does not mean they will hear this case or take any other action, it just means that they have jurisdiction.

mwll, I know that...I teach US constitution (am administera US Gov't test as I write), I was referring to jurisidiction as far as the fact that this is a STATE election. I think they are using VRA (Voting Rights Act) and FEC rules to jawbone a reason to get involved. Agree with Billybob that SCOTUS is likely to slap them down. again.
