The Supreme Court’s refusal to grapple with 2020 presidential election lawsuits concerning patently dubious policymaking by judges in Pennsylvania is a dereliction of duty of the highest order.
By refusing to rule on something as fundamental as who makes the election rules—state legislatures, as the Constitution would seem to make clear, or nonlegislative officials of every kind—Americans cannot have any confidence in the integrity of the electoral process.
