There are so many instances where the supreme court an the federal courts have struck down aspects of state law when it comes to elections for violating the constitution. I think to have a candidate favored by 18 % chosen as governor when in the same elet another kinapby forty eight or forty nine percent is what's unconstitutional. Has this ever been raised in front of the supreme court before? No. Th in two thousand three, gray davis filed a petition in the california supreme court on many different issues. His petition was dismissed by the califoria supreme court, but without any written opinion. We don't know why.
