Everyone should realize this is a district court opinion that is overwhelmingly likely to go nowhere. It’s barely worth discussing.
I wouldn't be so sure. This was essentially a GOP-led class action. It was brought in this state and this district for specific reasons-it was the plaintiffs (GOP) best bet to find a sympathetic judge willing to swallow their line of BS. More significantly it was brought in a circuit where the GOP has the best chance of winning as well. The US Supreme Court does not have to take the appeal. If this wins in the Circuit Court of Appeals and if the Supreme Court doesn't take the appeal, this will be binding law on every state within that circuit at a minimum.
I don't want to overstate the chances of this happening but I think you over-trivialized the potential importance of this case.
