Supreme Court dismisses groundbreaking legislative theory, while preserving potential for 2024 election challenges

The US Supreme Court has rejected a controversial legal theory that could have changed the way elections are run across the country. The court ruled 6-3 that legislatures do not have absolute power in setting the rules of federal elections and can be second-guessed by state courts. However, the court also stated that state courts must act within "ordinary bounds" when reviewing laws governing federal elections. This has left the door open to more limited challenges that could increase the Supreme Court's role in deciding voting disputes during the 2024 presidential election.
