I'm sorry but it's not settled. I believe it to be true. But a state supreme court doesn't get to make that ruling. They can (and have) ruled that as far as their respective states are concerned yes. But when you're looking at the US Constitution, SCOTUS is the ruler in that case.
It's an interesting argument. The court in one case rules that they can't be involved in state redistricting cases, and then in another case where they can decide for the state who is qualified to be on the ballot, and then in another case decide the voting rights act can't be enforced by states, but yet in another case decide votes can't be counted after an election.
