On December 7th, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Moore v. Harper. The Petitioners, North Carolina state legislators, are asking the Court to interpret the U.S. Constitution in a way that would authorize state legislatures to enact laws in their partisan self-interest, even if the laws violate their state’s constitution.
Our latest blog post explores the implications of the Petitioners’ interpretation, which would make it impossible for courts to invalidate even the most extreme examples of partisan gerrymandering. Their interpretation would also nullify state judicial enforcement of state constitutional protections for voting in federal elections.
