A federal judge did say, however, he would be willing to revisit the issue after Election Day.
A federal judge declined to step in on the eve of Mississippi’s statewide elections and block a provision of the state’s constitution that allows state lawmakers to choose the winner of statewide elections under certain circumstances.
“Absent some impact on the election results, the constitutional injury caused by discarded votes is outweighed by the harm a preliminary injunction would cause when the Court attempts to craft a new method for electing statewide officers on the eve of the election,” Jordan wrote. “We will continue to fight voter suppression in Mississippi and other states around the country to ensure all voters can exercise their right to cast a ballot and have their vote count equally to their fellow citizens,” said Marc Elias, a top Democratic election lawyer who represented the plaintiffs, said in a statement.
