U.S. Supreme Court Takes No Action on Election Law Cases

On February 15, the U.S. Supreme Court considered whether to take two election law cases. However, when the orders list came out on February 19, there was no resolution of either one.

The first is Bartlett v Strickland, 07-689, a case from North Carolina over redistricting. The second is Citizens United v Federal Election Commission, 07-953, a case against part of the McCain-Feingold law on campaign finance. The Court will probably announce next week whether it will hear these two cases.

The Court did not issue any full opinions on February 19, but is almost certain to do so on February 20.
