SCOTUS's Purcell jurisprudence, which discourages courts from changing election rules too close to an election, could magnify the impact of the Callais ruling, writes @wuc3.bsky.social. But state courts can help stave off democratic erosion by resisting the urge to invoke Purcell.
State courts need not import a federal doctrine directing judges to avoid issuing rulings that could change election rules in the runup to an election.
