The leftists need to be careful about the uneven application of the law. It sometimes results in SC decisions that they claim not to like, such as Citizens United.

In this case, I doubt it. The state officials would have to appeal the decision, and I don't think they will press the issue.

There are some differences between Conyer's and McCotter's cases. Conyer's appears to just be incompetence. In McCotter's case, there was outright fraud, and further investigation found it had been going on for at least several elections.

As a result, McCotter resigned before the end of his remaining term (even though he was a lame duck). There was no evidence he had any knowledge of it, but unlike our current pResident in the Oval Office, he took responsibility.
