Remember that the Court will be hearing Moore v. Harper in October.
That case will address the right wing theory of “Independent State Legislature Doctrine” -- which maintains that state courts can play no role in overseeing their legislatures in federal election matters, including challenges to process or redistricting.
If the Court finds in favor of the North Carolina Republicans, it will mean state legislatures can do whatever they want in terms of manipulating federal elections; rendering the state’s constitution, its governor and its courts basically powerless to do anything about it.
Would the Court go this route; a very radical, extremist route? I wish I could say of course not, but considering what this Court did with Dobbs, Bruen, Kennedy, Carson, Rivas and Shinn among others this past session; I have very little confidence they'll do the right thing. I certainly hope I'm wrong.
