Dems just a month ago: "Election laws are the states' purview. Those from other states have no standing to challenge them." (honestly, the correct interpretation)
Dems now: "Election laws should be the sole purview of the Federal Government. ...to ensure fairness."
I can't wait for the hypocritical propaganda media memes. That's about all we'd get if this bullshit made it out of the Senate (I'd say it likely doesn't).
I don't see how the court can rule that a state isn't impacted by the illegal behavior of another state in the process to elect a federal government that preside over all states.
If a state decided to assign its electoral votes according to the results of gladiatorial combat, the rest of the states would be well within their rights to either reject those electoral votes or withdraw from the compact altogether. Clearly, there is a range of acceptable processes for valid contribution to the federal election, and that range is defined by local election law. Texas sued precisely those states that broke their own laws, correctly reasoning that Texas should not be bound by a compact with parties who do not adhere to the norms established by their own laws. Put another way: why honor a contract with states that are actively breaking their own contracts?
That is not the correct interpretation once you account for national elections and damages to other states via the mishandling of one states' elections.
Yes, I know that's the angle the states were going for. I thought the Supreme Court should have, at least, heard the case based on that logic.
That the left-leaning states argued for "states' rights" (which I am almost always for) and then, six weeks later, their representatives want the Feds to run roughshod over those very same rights is another flashpoint of leftist hypocrisy. The only thing the left is logically consistent on is their lust for power over others.

And degeneracy. They've always been consistent there.
Changing the rules to ensure they win is part of the DNC’s playbook.
I think it is their entire playbook.
