How later courts describe this case

  • noting the Supreme Court’s repeated expressions — “expressions [that] cannot be dismissed as unconsidered dicta” — that the States may exclude felons from the franchise
  • in suit to declare state law unconstitutional, single judge must determine whether claim is substantial; if not, must dismiss without convening three-judge court
