Victory! The Supreme Court has ruled in the Moore V. Harper case denying state lawmakers the ability to manipulate federal elections and undermine the people's vote under the independent state legislature theory.
The Court rejected the argument that state legislatures could write election and voting laws unchecked. Given the long history of voter suppression and current rise of state laws that create barriers for voters of color in particular, we celebrate that the court to kept critical guardrails that have advanced equal access to the ballot.
This is a is a resounding victory for American Democracy and American voters. The Court reaffirmed the checks and balances that have been hallmarks of our government for more than 200 years.
You can tell your member of Congress to expand the Supreme Court to protect our voting and civil rights, create term limits, and institute a code of ethics HERE ([link removed]) .
