GOP Effort to Subvert Democracy Heads to SCOTUS
The conservative Supreme Court majority may hand state legislatures unchecked control over federal elections.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear a case next term that could give state legislators vast new powers over congressional and presidential elections, potentially allowing them to directly appoint Electoral College electors.
Yea, I don't know how much criminal the electoral collage could be. If 2016 wasn't enough to convince our citizenship of how much and call for its end, what more would it take to end the deluded complacency. Lets take a look.
{In 2018, Li told Sludge, “It’s important to have a check and balance in the process because state legislatures often are prone to be captured by special interests, especially when it comes to something like redistricting that your average member doesn’t understand and maybe never has done before—since it takes place only once every 10 years.”}
Well, we found that out in Ohio when it came to attempting to take 2 billion from tax payers in a crooked energy bill scheme. With a 160+ million dollar discovery of fraud and personal expenditures were exposed involving multiple republican representatives. Our voting maps have been heavily gerrymandered to benefit the republicans for several years now. Obviously not enough to satisfy them being we still have current remapping going on they can't get passed. Ohio has gone from a purple state to being a red state. On paper only! With less votes the republicans have managed to dominate the state voting system and houses. Our supreme court virtually resembles the nations.
{The 85 Fund received some $20 million in 2020 from Donors Trust, CNBC reported, a nonprofit that does not disclose its wealthy donors. Other tax records show that Donors Trust and its supporting organization the Donors Capital Fund have been used to fund an array of right-leaning causes by megadonors including the Koch, DeVos, Bradley, and Mercer families. Last year, video obtained by the nonprofit watchdog Center for Media and Democracy showed that the Honest Elections Project hosted a voter suppression academy at a meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a right-wing nonprofit that helps state legislators collaborate with corporate lobbyists to create policy proposals.}
The Mercer's were the one's that came in and primarily revamped Trump's 2016 campaign.
