<You're argument is flawed, since the legislature has a primary interest in the election matter granted to it under the U. S. Constitution. The courts are arguably usurping that right, which is illegal.< Actually, there's two ways to read the constitution on this. The XIV amendment specifically prohibits states from doing anything which interferes with the rights of their citizens to vote for President of the US. Five subsequent USSC decisions shot down various laws that state legislatures had enacted regarding ballot construction, access to voting places, etc. If legislatures had the only say with regard to who is President and how he is selected than these decisions would not have been rendered.
