It's a big game dirty game though - this one looks like the democrats looking to curtail the republican's ability to use muh-states-rights to do things like ignore election results and for the electoral college to vote for their preferred candidate.
Not that the Supreme Court gives a fuck about even pretending to hold with precedent any more.
It was a unanimous decision...
Makes sense too imo. States shouldn't be able to disqualify presidential candidates otherwise you start getting politically motivated removals which would block R or D candidates from getting enough electoral college votes to get over the line.
Let's hope the more serious decision around presidential immunity is a different outcome though...
