Republican justices dismissed the constitutional rights of voters.
No surprise.
Constitutional rights of citizens do not rise to the jurisdiction of federal courts, say Republican justices. That's the implication of the rejection of claims of violations of voters' First and Fourteenth Amendments by mostly the Republican Party.

Is United States Supreme Court as Corrupt as Wisconsin's — Thursday, June 27 Will Tell
The Wisconsin Supreme Court is a Republican Party operation.
This is a fact not in serious dispute, (Mal Contends, Democurmudgeon).
On Thursday, morning, June 26, the United States Supreme Court will release its rulings on two blockbuster legal-political issues — gerrymandering and a citizenship question on the 2020 census.
The rulings will tell us if we still have an independent federal high court.
Both sets of cases are intended by Republicans to degrade the power of minority Americans and protect Republican Party rule.
"The Chief [Justice] just announced that the court will be back tomorrow, and tomorrow will be the last day," reported Amy Howe on SCOTUSBlog at 9:22 AM on Thursday.
The gerrymandering cases are: Lamone v Benisek and Rucho v. Common Cause.
The Census citizen case is Department of Commerce v. New York.
Noone appears to know. Few are optimistic.
