WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a challenge from Republican state lawmakers in Pennsylvania to a Biden administration executive order aimed at boosting voter registration.
The justices made no comment in rejecting an appeal from Republicans, who argued the order is an unconstitutional attempt to interfere in the November election. Lower courts had dismissed the lawsuit.
Nine Republican secretaries of state and 11 members of Congress had asked the court to intervene. In May, the judges refused to hear and decide the case on an expedited basis.
The justices separately dismissed two appeals stemming from baseless claims by Republicans that voting machines and software from Dominion Voting Systems were responsible for Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
In one case, the court denied an appeal from Fulton County, Pennsylvania, which questioned a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling regarding voting machines. The other rejected appeal involved claims from people across the country that Denver-based Dominion was trying to silence them.
