Settlements arent laws. If a settlement directly contradicts an federal election law, then its invalid. the only ones that can change election law are legislators. its plainly stated in the constitution. An agreement between a person and an activist group cannot change election law. Saying the court wouldnt just let something illegal happen is ignoring literally every time that a law was passed and then later repealed as unconstitutional. The court lets illegal things happen ALL THE TIME.
You really didn't though. that change wasnt legislated, it was a result of a court settlement iirc
