The Supreme Court is about to hear a case that has big implications not only for our fight for fair maps, but also for our system of checks and balances -- Moore v. Harper.

Last year, voters in North Carolina overturned a gerrymandered congressional map in state court. Now they're headed to the Supreme Court to defend the fair map and stop extremist Republicans in their state from reinstating the gerrymandered map.

John -- If the thought of Republican legislatures operating without the check of a state court concerns you, we could use your support. Sign our petition if you think SCOTUS should protect our system of checks and balances.

North Carolina’s extreme Republicans turned to the “independent state legislature” theory -- a fringe legal theory claiming that state legislatures have exclusive power to regulate federal elections.

When those extreme Republicans argue their case in front of the Supreme Court this week, they will be asking SCOTUS to dismantle state-level judicial review of state legislation impacting federal elections -- effectively preventing state courts from providing checks and balances as needed to protect voters’ rights and the electoral process.

Add your name if you think the Supreme Court should protect checks and balances when deciding Moore v. Harper.

If the Supreme Court sides with the extreme Republicans pursuing this case, the fair North Carolina map will be replaced with the gerrymandered one already determined to violate the North Carolina Constitution. But this SCOTUS decision could also cause ripple effects to our democracy beyond this one map.

We’ve seen extreme Republicans go to great lengths to manipulate maps and overturn election results. Now they are asking the Supreme Court to give unchecked power to state legislatures -- including those that remain heavily gerrymandered.

Let’s call this what it is: a desperate and reckless attempt to dismantle the accountability that prevented extreme, power-hungry politicians from successfully manipulating maps in the first place.

We won’t know what the justices decide until next spring, but we need to be prepared for any outcome. This case has the potential to completely change the landscape of our federal elections.

I hope I can count on your support,

A.G. Holder
