Before this ruling, challenges to election laws brought by candidates wouldn't be taken up by courts until voting had already started or in many cases, until it was over.

Other legal experts say that this ruling could open the floodgates for candidates challenging rules they don't like, regardless of whether it affects their particular campaign.
