I thought the Supreme Court had agreed to hear Brewer v. Nader.

I don’t think Oklahoma officials follow the Pennsylvania way of thinking. Anyway, this issue won’t really be settled until we see whether the US Supreme Court hears the Nader Arizona case.

By not going to the Supreme Court (and losing there), is Oklahoma following the Pennsylvania’s practice? PA Commonwealth Court says it is not bound by lower federal court rulings, only US Supreme Court rulings. For that reason, when Pennsylvania loses in Federal court and thinks it may not win in the US Supreme Court, it does not appeal. By not appealing (and losing) in the US Supreme Court, Oklahoma avoids a ruling which will impact all the other states.
