Aside from the absurdity of this position it would put an even greater burden on the Supreme Court, which would get mandatory direct appeals of these cases from three-judge federal courts. THAT cannot be appealing to Chief Justice Roberts.

The answer actually might differ depending on whether the legislature is allegedly violating a statute (which the leg itself could change, raising fewer Elections Clause concerns) or the state const'n, which would be limting a delegation of power from U.S. Const'n directly to leg
