Summary
The Supreme Court has declined to hear a challenge by Republican lawmakers in Pennsylvania against President Biden’s executive order aimed at enhancing voter registration. This decision upholds lower court rulings that dismissed the lawsuit, which claimed the order unlawfully expanded federal authority over state election processes.
The executive order, signed in March 2021, directs federal agencies to promote voter registration services, a move seen as part of Biden’s efforts to increase voter participation ahead of the 2024 elections. Republican lawmakers argued that this order infringes upon state powers to regulate elections, invoking the “independent state legislature doctrine.” However, the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up the case reinforces the legality of the executive order and reflects a broader trend of the Court siding with federal policies aimed at facilitating voter access. This ruling comes amidst ongoing debates over election integrity and access, with Republican leaders continuing to challenge various voter registration efforts.
