Supreme Court hears arguments that could change election laws

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments for the Moore v. Harper case that could dramatically change local election laws.

The Supreme Court wrestled Wednesday with a controversial legal theory that critics warn could upend federal elections but that proponents insist is needed to limit the power of state courts to overrule voting laws approved by state lawmakers.

Over the course of three hours at least three justices signaled a willingness to embrace the idea that state courts should be curtailed in their power to strike down state laws governing federal elections. But three other members of the conservative majority – including Chief Justice John Roberts – seemed to be searching for a far less sweeping resolution.
