wouldnt the maine ruling carry less weight with appeals/other courts? it wasnt some local judiciary who said ‘no’…
No, because it helps set a trend following the Colorado decision. Also, because the process was bipartisan from the Maine legislature requesting the Maine Secretary of State who is responsible for running elections to rule on the topic. Everything is above board and non-partisan, a decision made purely on the Constitution and based on Colorado’s finding out fact that carries serious legal weight.
All that remains is for other states to follow suit.
