I think the supreme court is probably right, actually.  While it's a 
catch 22 for sure and not the most desirable outcome it's not wrong.  In 
the case, like this one,  where the laws don't provide for a solution to 
a catch 22 situation, the laws need to be changed or  enacted. 

Rather than faulting a court for a bad judgment, we need to educate our 
legislators and encourage them to  enact laws  favorable to a  system of 
voting that will eliminate or reduce voter fraud. 

Unfortunately mixed up in that debate seems to be bias issues that will 
preclude any meaningful changes.  Anything that might seem to bias votes 
in the direction of on or the other party will result in the other party 
killing or rendering the law ineffective.   Neither party wants to 
eliminate fraud because to do so would also restrain that party from 
implementing fraud to sway an election.  Remember most of the 
legislators got where they are, not by being straightforward and honest, 
'cause that doesn't win elections.  Cheating, lying and fraudulent 
behavior result in positive election results!.
