This decision establishes a precedent that says states can violate the US constitution and not be held accountable.

The US Constitution has no provisions for how states run an election.

The Elections Clause is the primary source of constitutional authority to regulate elections for the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate. The Clause directs and empowers states to determine the “Times, Places, and Manner” of congressional elections, subject to Congress’s authority to “make or alter” state regulations. It grants each level of government the authority to enact a complete code for such elections, including rules concerning public notices, voter registration, voter protection, fraud prevention, vote counting, and determination of election results. Whenever a state enacts a law relating to a congressional election, it is exercising power under the Elections Clause; states do not have any inherent authority to enact such measures.

I never was able to complete my law degree and I take great offence to the state AG who is ignorant of just how the Constitution works along with state control of elections....

Let me help you out, counselor. When the "Manner" is done unconstitutionally, per the states constitution, as was the case in Pa (maybe Ca and Mich as well)- then it is illegal- period.

BTW, the link posted by the OP wouldn't work for me, but, I have to ask; what authority does the texasGOP.org have?
 
Boz Scaggs release his Silk Degrees album in February 1976. Excerpt from 2nd song on side 2:

So why pretend
This is the end
You'll have to find out for yourself
Go on ask somebody else

Why can't you just get it through your head
It's over
It's over now
Yes you heard me clearly now I said
It's over
It's over now

Then the state supreme court can rule on the matter and as we have seen in the case of Pennsylvania they did get a ruling on the matter from the Pennsylvania SC...

So, then it has to go to US Supreme Court- so, when it does and they rule on it, counselor, what then?

It has been rejected by the US Supreme Court already....
 
It's dead in da water Trump has no more time to go the legal route and not enough Hitleresque to browbeat the states into doing his bidding..
You obviously prefer your brow beating from a source you approve of. Correct?

I doubt you understand what it is like to live apart from the norms of the rat race.
