Here's how the Supreme Court could hand the next presidential election to Trump (or worse):

Friend, the Supreme Court is [currently considering]( a fringe, far-right theory that argues the Constitution gives state legislatures complete and unprecedented control over federal elections — unchecked by state courts, governors, or state constitutions. That power could be harnessed by increasingly extremist legislatures to pass voter ID laws and other voter suppression legislation, and used to outlaw voter-approved independent redistricting commissions. Even worse, it could be used to subvert the will of the voters and overturn the next presidential election — which is exactly what Trump Republicans attempted on January 6, and hope to accomplish in the future. The road to the White House runs through two major swing states: Michigan and Pennsylvania, which combined hold 35 electoral votes. If the ultra-conservative majority on the Supreme Court upholds the crackpot “independent state legislature” theory, Republicans in the state legislature could throw all of the congressional redistricting maps that were decided by state courts or even independent redistricting commissions into question. That would be a devastating blow to our already fragile democracy. But there’s some very good news: Democrats have their best shot in ages at wresting control of the state legislatures in both Michigan and Pennsylvania and depriving Republicans of their most powerful tool for rigging future elections. With our help, Democratic candidates in these states can flip both of these chambers and defend our democracy in the years to come. [Most of our endorsed state legislative candidates have budgets of just a few hundred thousand dollars. So you’ll get a tremendous bang for your buck if you contribute. Please donate $19 — $1 to each candidate — or whatever you can to help these fearless Democrats running to protect our democracy and defend the rule of law!]( [DONATE]( Keep fighting, Monique Teal, Daily Kos Daily Kos, PO Box 70036, Oakland, CA, 94612.
