The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that state constitutions can protect voting rights in federal elections and state courts can enforce those provisions, in a key opinion that should safeguard the integrity of the 2024 election.

Do we know why they dissented? In another article it referenced that they didn't think a ruling was appropriate because the NC courts overturning the ruling in question rendered the case moot. Neither article I've read gave more of an explanation than that.

Or did they flat out endorse the independent legislature theory?
