Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court heard nearly three hours of oral arguments on an election law case from North Carolina.

It could prevent state judges from intervening if local lawmakers pass something unconstitutional. This case has colossal implications for the 2024 presidential election, but the court might throw it out entirely.
