Supreme Court Rejects Pennsylvania GOP Challenge to Biden's Voter Registration Order

Oct 7, 2024, 03:19 PM

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a challenge from Republican state lawmakers in Pennsylvania against President Joe Biden's three-year-old executive order intended to boost voter registration. The Republicans argued that the order was an unconstitutional attempt to interfere in the upcoming November election and invoked a fringe theory on state power in federal elections. Lower courts had dismissed the lawsuit, and the Supreme Court rejected the appeal without comment, steering clear of a fractious political fight in the run-up to the November election.
