This is just an acknowledgement that voting is maybe our most sacred right and even a very liberal court is going to be extremely reluctant to rule that the majority of the country can’t vote for who they want. My (layman’s) understanding is that there is enough room to argue that any court would just leave it to the voters.
Frankly, I don’t care because the whole republican party is an existential threat to the nation so it’s not like I’ll breathe a sigh of relief if it’s DeSantis instead.
