BUT IT'S NOT ALL GOOD NEWS. THE TRAUMATIC AFTERMATH TO THE 2020 ELECTION HAS NOW PRODUCED A DEFINITIVE RESPONSE FROM BOTH CONGRESS AND THE SUPREME COURT. Read full article 1.6k Jon Ward ·Chief National Correspondent Tue, June 27, 2023 at 7:07 PM CDT·4 min read Attorney Neal Katyal and Kathay Feng, national redistricting director at Common Cause, speaking outside the Supreme Court following oral arguments in Moore v. Harper, a Republican-backed appeal to curb judicial oversight of elections, Dec. 7, 2022. (Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters) The Supreme Court’s ruling in an election law case Tuesday prompted many loud commendations from those who celebrated the majority-conservative court’s rejection of something called the independent state legislature theory (ISLT). The theory argued by the North Carolina Legislature in Moore v. Harper — a dispute between the Legislature and the state Supreme Court over the redrawing of congressional maps — claims that the state courts should not have any role in constraining the Legislature when it comes to election law.

A ‘fringe’ theory In a statement issued after the ruling, former President Barack Obama called ISLT a “fringe” theory that “threatened to upend our democracy and dismantle our system of checks and balances by giving state legislatures near-total control of federal election laws.” “This ruling is a resounding rejection of the far-right theory that has been peddled by election deniers and extremists seeking to undermine our democracy,” Obama said. Rick Hasen, director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at UCLA, said that the ISLT could have “paved the way for state legislatures to engage in election subversion.” Republicans tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election following Donald Trump’s loss to Joe Biden, despite any evidence of widespread fraud or irregularities, which drove concerns about the ISLT and future elections. Some election experts, however, called these fears overblown. “Those who worry about state legislative rejection of the presidential popular vote may be looking in the wrong direction,” wrote Bob Bauer and Jack Goldsmith, two constitutional law experts with extensive experience in government. But conservative legal scholar J. Michael Luttig, a former federal judge, called the decision “a resounding and reverberating victory for American democracy.” The ISLT, Luttig told Slate's Dahlia Lithwick, was "the centerpiece of the efforts to overturn the 2020 election." Nonetheless, concerns about the ISLT extended beyond election subversion to how much impunity state legislatures would have to draw congressional districts without any oversight or check on their power. Story continues John Eastman, a former attorney for Donald Trump, displayed via video during a House select committee hearing investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, June 21, 2022. Eastman was an architect of the legal arguments used to justify Trump's attempt to overturn the election and is currently facing disbarment. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) Not all good news But election experts like Hasen also said that while the 6-3 decision rejecting North Carolina Republicans’ attempt to give state legislatures almost total control of election law was a definitive win, they also cautioned that the decision had some bad news in it as well. Chief Justice John Roberts, in his majority opinion, rejected the idea that state legislatures can do whatever they want, with no input from state courts. But he also enshrined in legal precedent that the federal courts have a role in this process too, just as the Supreme Court intervened in the 2000 presidential election, handing the presidency to Republicans with its decision in Bush v. Gore. “Make no mistake. This gives the U.S. Supreme Court the ultimate say over the meaning of state law in the midst of an election dispute. This is a bad, but not awful, result,” Hasen wrote. “It could lead to another Supreme Court intervention in a presidential election,” he added. Supporters of Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush facing off in front of the Supreme Court in the wake of the landmark post-election legal battle, Bush v. Gore, on Dec. 11, 2000. A win for democracy The traumatic aftermath to the 2020 election has now produced a definitive response from both Congress and the Supreme Court, insulating the nation from similar attempts to overturn elections in the future. Congress last year passed significant reforms to the Electoral Count Act that make it much harder for politicians to discount legitimate votes of American citizens, or to try to overturn an election, as Trump and his allies attempted to do in 2020. And the Supreme Court decision on Tuesday “strips away the foundation of G.O.P. arguments that the election was legally problematic because of state court interventions,” wrote New York Times columnist David French. In this way, the ruling “dealt a blow” to Trump’s “coup theory,” he wrote. The nonpartisan National Task Force on Election Crises put it this way: “The Court has reduced one of the more serious threats for instability and election crisis.” RECOMMENDED STORIES * The Independent RHODE ISLAND STATE SENATOR ARRESTED FOR KEYING CAR WITH ‘BIDEN SUCKS’ STICKER, POLICE SAY State Sen Joshua Miller was arrested in Cranston 1d ago * NBC News HOUSE REPUBLICANS EMBARK ON A MISSION: AVENGE TRUMP House Republicans are using the powers of their majority to carry out former President Donald Trump’s quest for retribution against his political adversaries. 2d ago * CNN IMAGE CAPTURED BY MARS ROVER SHOWS A MYSTERIOUS ‘DOUGHNUT’ ON THE PLANET’S SURFACE NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover captured an image of a mysterious doughnut-shaped rock on the planet’s surface. 4h ago * USA TODAY THE SUPREME COURT IS UNEXPECTEDLY SIDING WITH VOTING RIGHTS GROUPS.

Koch, ranked among the richest people in the world, compiled his wealth as an executive at his family's company Koch Industries, a conglomerate involved in fossil fuels, commodities and other businesses.
