No mater which of these three options the Court goes with, all this is only about whether the new rules should take effect right away. The full merits of the cases haven't been ruled on (or even been briefed and argued) in any court yet. That will all happen, with an eventual permanent resolution to the case later (and well after the midterms have happened). It will almost certainly end up back in the Supreme Court.

Judge Nichols' opinion underscores an important point generally about elections: "once the election occurs, there can be no do-over and no redress." This is at the core of why elections (in both law and technology) are such a hard problem. If you discover after the fact that something went wrong, there's generally little or nothing you can do about it. You have to *prevent* problems and get it right the first time. @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social
