On June 27, the Supreme Court sided against Republicans in North Carolina, declining to impose new limits on the ability of state courts to review election laws.

State courts retain the authority to apply state constitutional restraints when legislatures act on the power conferred on them by the Elections Clause, John Roberts, Supreme Court Chief Justice, via NBC.

Chief Justice John Roberts added that state courts do not have "free reign" in regards to conflict with federal law.

NBC reports that the case had the potential to impact the 2024 presidential election.
