Quote: “ . . . .presents the question of whether a state legislature, acting completely on its own, can set rules governing federal elections in the state, even rules that are contrary to the state’s laws”
Where to start here: 1) if the Constitution says that the legislatures are supreme in deciding these matters, then is it really against “state law.” 2) It isn’t contrary to the state’s laws if the legislatures act within the Constitution to set the election law. That is the law.
Typical of the left. They always seek and only recognize the authority that they control or supports their position as being “the law” or “ the authority.”
As to this case, I am sure Roberts will cave. The others I am not so sure of.
The question is can a state legislature ignore that state's constitution?
The very constitution that created the legislature in the first place.
