. . . unless there's a constitutional aspect . . .

Have you taken note of the wide variety of kinds of cases depending upon the "due process" clauses of the constitution.

Wiki: Due Process Clauses
The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution each contain a due process clause. Due process deals with the administration of justice and thus the due process clause acts as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the government outside the sanction of law. The Supreme Court of the United States interprets the clauses broadly, concluding that these clauses provide three protections: procedural due process; substantive due process, a prohibition against vague laws; and as the vehicle for the incorporation of the Bill of Rights.

Again, I'm presuming . . . . .

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
Your wording "what is clearly" needs some basis for how you arrived at that, before we could hope to be discussing any exceptions. needs some basis for how you arrived at that, before we could hope to be discussing any exceptions.

If the framers wanted the courts to have a roll in a State's Right to conduct its own elections, I should think a Constitutional blurb or two would speak to their wishes. Nothing in A2.1.2 can be construed as to give the Supremes a roll in the process unless there's a constitutional aspect involved with the issue. As far as I know, infractions are localized with some bellyaching about federal laws being broken. I believe laws are being broken but I'm not sure how far reaching they are, e.g. local laws, state laws, fed laws or simply misunderstood rule changes.

Call me presumptuous but I believe I understand what the Article spells out. It doesn't appear ambiguous to me.
