Upcoming SCOTUS Threat To Elections

I discuss the Independent State Legislature Theory with renowned democracy protection expert Lisa Graves. This theory is a read­ing of the Consti­tu­tion that would give state legis­latures wide author­ity to gerry­mander elect­oral maps and pass voter suppres­sion laws. It has even been used as polit­ical cover to try to over­turn elec­tions. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case involving the partisan gerrymandering of electoral maps in North Carolina in its next session. Lisa Graves is the ED and Editor in Chief of True North Research. Prior to creating that organization, she ran the Center for Media and Democracy. She is an attorney who served in the Clinton Justice Department and taught at George Washington Law School. She helped shape the national conversation on Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, which was when she was last on my show. Please set a reminder to watch and share this post.
