The United States Supreme Court voted by 7-2 that candidates in elections have standing to sue over Mass Mailer Ballot rules. The ruling could finally create a legal challenge to the obviously unconstitutional practice of allowing elections to be conducted in ways that are clearly impossible to secure.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision, saying, “Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns. Their interest extends to the integrity of the election — and the democratic process by which they earn or lose the support of the people they seek to represent.” The far-left insurrectionist judges, Sotomayor and Brown-Jackson dissented.
