This is MOST frustrating. I am hoping we get SOME explanation from the SCOTUS. I assume what this is ...is the court NOT granting cert.

The ONLY think I can think is that the court viewed it as a States issue...which confuses me even more. Federal voting laws DO dictate the law in this case, no?

Were they voting for President? No. They were voting for a Senator of their state. The only citizens that would be affected were those of that state. Not a SCOTUS issue. Just one more reason to overturn the 17th Amendment
