            Justices seem poised to hear elections case pressed by GOP

            WASHINGTON  (AP)  —  The
            Supreme     Court   seems
            poised  to  take  on  a  new
            elections    case    being
            pressed  by  Republicans
            that  could  increase  the
            power  of  state  lawmakers
            over  races  for  Congress
            and  the  presidency,  as
            well  as  redistricting,  and
            cut state courts out of the
            equation.  The  issue  has
            arisen repeatedly in cases
            from  North  Carolina  and
            Pennsylvania, where Dem-
            ocratic  majorities  on  the
            states’ highest courts have
            invoked  voting  protec-
            tions in their state constitu-
            tions  to  frustrate  the  plans
            of  Republican-dominated
            legislatures.  Already,  four
            conservative      Supreme
            Court  justices  have  not-
            ed  their  interest  in  decid-
