An email from Nicholas Wingate, a Department of Public Safety paramedic and trooper, has revealed the barbaric practices of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, writes the Editorial Board. https://t.co/NW7WLzYyNj

The fight for voting rights has been long and challenging. In the past few years, voting integrity in Florida has been undermined. That’s why FRRC has filed a lawsuit against the State for failing to do its job and fix our broken election system.

Solitary confinement is a cruel practice recognized as a form of torture. Once there, the harms of ICE detention are compounded as people detained suffer alone.

Instead of proceeding with the ACE Act, Congress should take actions that will help voters and promote democracy such as passing legislation that will strengthen protections against discrimination in voting and expand access to the ballot for all communities.

Fueled by lies and false claims regarding our elections, House Republicans just introduced their #BigLieBill , which would disenfranchise millions of voters by putting up restrictive barriers to voting. https://t.co/JRbT2eNBgk

Senate Republicans are proposing slashing election funding for 2024! Act now before it’s too late and tell your senator to protect our freedom to vote by securing $400 million for our elections: https://t.co/8kraJY62hP

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This Supreme Court:

Six right wing politicians, masquerading as judges, gleefully imposing their politics on the country by fiat, and unremorsefully living lives of leisure subsidized by billionaires with interests before the court.

An outrageous scam.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Supreme Court rejected the fringe independent state legislature theory that threatened to upend our democracy and dismantle our system of checks and balances.

[Southern Coalition for Social Justice @scsj]

The Supreme Court's decision to reaffirm the power of state courts to strike down unfair voting maps and election rules is a necessary step to ensure that all Americans have a fair and equal opportunity to vote.🎉

[Legal Defense Fund @NAACP_LDF]

Today, SCOTUS rejected the anti-democratic independent state legislature theory in Moore v. Harper, which in its most extreme interpretation gives state legislatures full control of elections and voting laws, with no checks and balances from state courts.

BREAKING: Supreme Court *declines* to endorse the "independent state legislature" theory that would have throttled the power of state courts to interpret their state constitutions. The case is Moore v. Harper; the vote is 6-3.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Last case is the big one, Moore v. Harper. Independent State Legislature Theory. It is not moot
Court rules 6-3, that the theory is WRONG.
"The Elections Clause does not vest exclusive and independent authority in state legislatures to set the rules regarding federal elections."

[NDRC @DemRedistrict]

🚨⚖️BREAKING: SCOTUS just delivered a major victory for democracy by ruling in favor of NC voters in Moore v. Harper!

This ruling is a resounding rejection of the fringe ISL theory that has been peddled by MAGA extremists seeking to undermine democracy.

[Common Cause @CommonCause]

Breaking: The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled in our #MooreVHarper case, protecting state courts’ power to hold lawmakers accountable to state laws when it comes to our elections.

This ruling is a very big deal for the survival of our democracy.

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

Very very pleased to say we won Moore v Harper, thanks to an incredible team of lawyers. More to say soon.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

New York lawmakers passed a last-minute bill in June blowing up the public campaign financing law they recently passed to disrupt Albany’s pay-to-play culture & leverage the power of small contributions. @GovKathyHochul should veto it.
