Recent NC Supreme Court Actions Do Not Change Jurisdiction

The North Carolina Supreme Court signaled today it will not provide a check on legislative efforts to discriminate against resident voters, vacating a prior decisions that protected voters against partisan gerrymandering in voting maps.

The entire staff of Buckingham County’s election office recently quit from the stress of responding to election deniers.

The U.S. Supreme Court should reject the dangerous and fringe independent state legislature theory (ISLT) presented in Moore v. Harper regardless of the highly unusual decision by the North Carolina Supreme Court to rehear the remedial decision in Harper v. Hall, according to a new plaintiff’s letter responding to the high court.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in the important voting rights case Wednesday, Dec. 7. 

Moore v. Harper is a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case involving a dangerous legal argument that seeks to eliminate the checks and balances served by the state judiciary and to allow state lawmakers to exercise nearly unchecked power to manipulate federal elections.
