Harper case⦠1ï¸â£ Republicans argue that the âindependent state legislatureâ (ISL) theory -- a far-fetched legal theory that claims that state legislatures are the ONLY state entities with the power to regulate federal elections. 2ï¸â£ If the Supreme Court sides with the power-hungry politicians in this case, an era of perpetual redistricting could be unleashed. 3ï¸â£ Worst case scenario, the ISL theory opens the door for power grabs by anti-democratic advocates and elected officials in other gerrymandered states. By claiming that state legislatures have exclusive power over federal elections, extremists in Republican state legislatures could effectively nullify state constitutional provisions that protect voters. As A.G. Holder said, this should not be a difficult decision for the Supreme Court -- endorsing the ISL theory would "damage a cornerstone of our democracy" and "unleash" gerrymandering from both parties. [Before we hear back on the SCOTUS decision, add your name to our petition if you believe SCOTUS should uphold checks and balances in redistricting.]( [SIGN ON]( Extreme Republicans are relentless in their attacks on our elections -- putting their ISL theory into practice would be an unfathomable threat to our democracy. Weâre doing a lot of work to make sure that activists, legal experts, the media, and partner organizations understand whatâs at stake -- and are prepared for the potential fallout of this decision. We appreciate your support! -- Art Mitchell
