In 2021, the North Carolina legislature tried – and failed – to enact a Congressional map drawn to benefit the political party in power and dilute the power of Black voters. They didn’t succeed only because Common Cause and our allies sued in the state’s highest court, and those justices tossed the unfair and unjust map.

Now, in response to that hard-won ruling, a fringe group of anti-democracy extremists want the U.S. Supreme Court to give them near-unrestricted power to manipulate our election processes and remove the checks and balances function that state courts have long served.

We can’t let Moore v. Harper undermine our democracy the way that Citizens United and Shelby v. Holder did. ONE branch of government should not have supreme powers to make massive changes to our elections processes – like cutting back on early voting times and making it harder to vote by mail.

This Lawless Legislature Theory is a radical and blatant power grab from extreme state legislators who believe THEY should have the absolute power to run federal elections, draw rigged maps, and silence your vote.

Our case is being heard by the Supreme Court on December 7. If we don’t take action immediately, we could lose the best line of defense we have against politicians who will stop at nothing to undermine your vote.

Add your name to support Common Cause’s efforts to end gerrymandering and advocate for a democracy where WE choose our elected officials, NOT the other way around.
