#1 it unfairly singled out black voters

One can have a lot of fun with this statement.

#2 I'm not a lawyer, but Glen Reynolds (who is) stated that the law seemed ok, just the appeals process was pooched up so bad that the higher court rejected it based on that.

I would recommend that NC try it again.

#3 From the article:

the situation was complicated when Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and Attorney General Josh Stein tried to withdraw the appeal, which was first filed when Republican Pat McCrory was governor.

Starting again will have to wait for Republicans in the offices of governor and attorney general. Elections matter.

#4 "Given the blizzard of filings over who is and who is not authorized to seek review in this Court under North Carolina law, it is important to recall our frequent admonition that “[t]he denial of a writ of certiorari imports no expression of opinion upon the merits of the case.”

Part of a two-page statement issued by Chief Justice Roberts. The writ of certiorari is a denial to hear a case. It will go back to Court of Appeals to further decide.
