SC rules on state legislatures power over federal elections (Rejects)
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
I don't see a conservative article about this to know what's what. Anyone have details on this?
BO thinks it was a good ruling so I guess we know what that means https://resistthemainstream.com/supreme-court-issues-ruling-in-federal-elections-case
these guys will probably put up something new soon. they have a bunch about it already. https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/moore-v-harper-2/
It's about North Carolina and redistricting along with gerrymandering. Needs a deeper dig.
Long story short: NC state legislature (R) redrew the election maps (districts) as per State and U.S. Constitution after the 2020 census. Liberals sued claiming unfair maps in favor of Republicans. Liberal State Supreme Court ordered maps redrawn multiple times, rejecting them each time. State SC empaneled "experts" to redraw maps and forced them on the state for 2022 election. Legislature sued, went to SCOTUS. Prior to SCOTUS hearing the case, the NC State SC flipped to conservatives, which ruled the Legislature has the sole authority to draw election maps/districts, as stated in the U.S. Constitution (no judicial review required). SCOTUS heard the case and ruled that state SC's have right to judicial review regarding the legislature's right to run Federal elections (redistricting, etc.), essentially undermining the U.S. Constitutional requirements that state legislatures alone have the authority to run Federal elections. SCOTUS got this one wrong and it will affect all 50 states.
