The biggest threat to free and fair elections 
 

Roy Cooper for North Carolina

It doesn’t stop, John.

Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear Moore v. Harper, a case that threatens to end democracy as we know it. And that’s not an exaggeration.

Here’s what you need to know: Moore v. Harper could reinstate the extremely illegally gerrymandered congressional maps that North Carolina’s highest court threw out. The Republicans aren’t just arguing that their awful maps were legal, they are arguing that our state Supreme Court had NO authority to strike them down.

That means state courts could lose power to strike down bad election laws passed by the legislature. Under the strongest form of this doctrine, state legislatures have unchecked authority to decide how elections are conducted in their state. This is beyond the pale!

John, add your name now to our petition demanding that SCOTUS do their job and protect our rights and defend our democracy >>>

If the right-wing majority on SCOTUS sides with the North Carolina Republicans in this case:

  • States could lose their ability to combat federal partisan gerrymandering
  • Ballots in federal elections could be thrown out for arbitrary reasons
  • State courts could no longer protect our voting rights in federal elections
  • States could pass laws that allow them to throw out the presidential electors chosen by the people and select their own

In states like North Carolina with a GOP-controlled legislature, this would be a disaster. Republican-controlled state legislatures could throw out the results of presidential elections they don’t like.

We cannot let this stand. We must act to make our voices heard. Sign our petition now to tell SCOTUS to defend our democracy instead of tearing it down >>>

Thank you for standing with me.

Roy Cooper
