U.S. Supreme Court Won’t Hear Texas Voting Rights Case on Preference for Older Voters

Texas permits voters age 65 and over to vote absentee for any reason, but younger voters can’t vote absentee without good cause. On April 22, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Cascino v Nelson, 23-612, in which some voters had challenged the law on the grounds that the 26th Amendment prohibits treating some voters better than other voters because of their age. The lower courts had upheld the Texas law.

The Court had initially considered whether to hear this case in January, and had asked the state to respond, which shows that the Justices considered the case carefully.

  1. The SCOTUS refuses to hear an awful lot of things these days. At this point, they are largely a kangaroo court running around covering their ears while pretending to be politicians, in imitation of the ICC.
    Circuit judges? More like circus judges! Even Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito are disappointments.
    It is an insult to such past judges as Joseph Story, John Harlan and Hugo Black. The US justice system is become a complete and utter disgrace! You would get more justice out of flipping a coin or rolling a die.

  2. Absentee voting is a terrible idea, especially for old people. Many are voting under duress.

  3. I thought the LP was gerrymandering and run by troll moron partisan hacks. That’s what AZ says.

  4. Az bot’s support for absentee and snail voting contradicts its support for secret ballots.

  5. TROLL MORONS DOING ZERO TO PREVENT CIVIL WAR II / WORLD WAR III BY KILLER/ENSLAVER MONARCHS/OLIGARCHS.
