The Court Recognizes that Universal Relief is Required in At Least Some Election-Law Contexts

In response to this recent post from Justin, I would just briefly flag note 12 in the majority opinion: “There may be other injuries for which it is all but impossible for courts to craft relief that is complete and benefits only the named plaintiffs. See, e.g., Shaw v. Hunt, 517 U. S. 899 (1996) (racially gerrymandered congressional maps).” Whether that acknowledgement extends beyond racial gerrymandering claims to other election-law contexts, we will have to see.
