Colleagues and Friends,

Today, LDAD filed an amicus brief in Moore v. Harper, a case before the Supreme Court that has sweeping ramifications for how future elections may be decided.

Legislators in North Carolina are arguing that the Supreme Court lacks the power to strike down its gerrymandered congressional map even though it determined that the map violated the North Carolina Constitution.

LDAD’s amicus brief in the Moore case is a concise and compelling argument against the profoundly dangerous notion that state legislatures should be the final authority on elections issues – immune from state court judicial review.

Today's amicus brief tracks directly with our founding principle: to protect the rule of law. Moore v. Harper threatens incalculable harm to American democracy and at a time of intense public scrutiny, it is essential that state courts retain the authority to challenge partisan districting and protect the right to vote.

Thank you, as always, for your support. We will keep you apprised of this issue as it progresses.

Sincerely,

The Board, LDAD
