Supreme Court declines to hear GOP challenge to Biden voting executive order

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a Republican-led challenge to President Joe Biden's executive action that aimed at promoting voting access.

The rejection occurred on the first day that the Supreme Court was back in session from its summer recess, and comes after the court rejected to hear other prominent cases like singer R. Kelly's appeal of his 2022 child sex conviction. 

The appeal was led by Republican state lawmakers in Pennsylvania, but nine Republican secretaries of state and 11 members of Congress also asked the court to weigh in, according to the Associated Press.

The justices did not outline the reasoning for their rejection, but had also declined to hear the case on an expedited basis in May. Lower courts also dismissed the lawsuit, a decision which the Pennsylvania lawmakers had claimed was an unconstitutional attempt to interfere in the November election.

The Supreme Court also declined to hear other GOP challenges on Monday, including allegations that voting machines and software of Dominion Voting Systems were responsible for former President Donald Trump's loss in 2020.
