But if this gets up to the supreme court, it would directly conflict with Kavanaugh's opinion in the Wisconsin ballot case, which was that the federal court could not overturn the will of the state. If there was any consistency to the conservative judges' rulings, they'd overrule any lower-court federal judge trying to overturn a state court's findings, but of course there's no guarantee the judges rule consistently here.
