The Supreme Court on Wednesday revived an Illinois Congress member’s lawsuit over a state mail-in ballot law, paving the way for political candidates nationwide to challenge election laws more easily in their states.

When the Supreme Court, led by Justice Neil Gorsuch, ruled in 2020 that federal law protected transgender workers from discrimination, the justices appeared to launch a new era of rights for a historically shunned group.

U.S. Representative Michael Bost, a Republican from Illinois, argues political candidates’ unique interest warrants a special rule to make challenging election regulations easier.

Supreme Court’s January 12 order list includes Roberts’ recusals, certiorari grants in FIFA corruption cases, and dozens of denials and motions.
