Jacobsen v. Montana Democratic Party

Issues: (1) What standard applies, when the Supreme Court reviews a state court’s decision invalidating state legislation under the Constitution's elections clause, to whether that decision exceeds the bounds of ordinary judicial review; and (2) whether the Montana Supreme Court’s split decision below exceeded the bounds of ordinary judicial review by invalidating under the Montana Constitution two Montana election integrity provisions — one setting the voter-registration deadline at noon the day before election day, and another requiring the secretary of state to promulgate regulations banning paid absentee ballot collection.
