In Tuesday's ruling on #MoorevHarper , the two most conservative and unethical members of the Supreme Court, Alito and Thomas, voted to allow Republicans to maintain control of elections in a case that could have had devastating impact on the 2024 election.
Good news came out of the Supreme Court today!
Once again SCOTUS has reaffirmed states do NOT have unchecked power to draw the maps that define r elected representation.

Common Cause has fought for decades to ensure that everyone has fair representation and power can be held accountable. Today's decision in #MoorevHarper upholds the role of state courts in holding legislatures accountable to following the law.
Hug a democracy advocate today!
Marc E. Elias Thanks Marc & @democracydocket. Here's hoping the Supreme Court REJECTS the ‘independent state legislature’ theory, or moots #MooreVHarper . Crazy MAGA legislatures are already doing damage to democracy. Shutting this down will help to have free and fair #2024elections .
A major blow to political manipulation and a crucial WIN for democracy as court declares partisan gerrymandering unconstitutional in Moore v. Harper case. Win for fair representation! 👏🏼👏🏼 #MoorevHarper #DemocracyWins #ForthePeople #SCOTUS
