Why wouldn’t it be the courts?
Permitting state supreme courts to disqualify a fed candidate under Sect 3 doesn't mean states have unchecked power. State ct rulings interpreting the U.S. Constitution are subject to SCOTUS review, which makes SCOTUS, not states, the ultimate decider.

Attn AALS attendees-please come to a panel that I put together- Brown, Equal Education and Democracy: Honoring the 70th Anniversary of Brown v. Board. Time/date: Fri, Jan 5, 10:00-11:40 a.m. Room: Independence Salon F, Level M4, Marriott Marquis THREAD
The panel will be moderated by @CaitlinAMillat of ASU. Hope to see you there! END
4. Osamudia James (UNC) will examine the right of parents to vote on school finance issues after having opted out of public schools, and discuss its implications for democracy, disproportionate political power, and unequal school financing.
3-I'll discuss Brown's racial integration mandate as a principle of equality & democracy. Integration should be viewed as a means to foster equal status relationships btw students, enabling them as adults to construct & participate in a racially inclusive democratic process.
2. Luis Fuentes-Rohwer (Indiana Bloomington) will explore the relationship btw race, equal education and voting rights. He will discuss the uneasy connection between Brown and Lassiter, the 1959 case that held that literacy tests do not violate equal protection.
Joy Milligan (UVA Law) will discuss reimagining the federal administrative state through the concept of racial repair. She will address a provocative question-what would the federal administrative state look like today if desegregation had proceeded as it could or should have?
