Supreme Court to hear arguments in a case that experts say could dramatically alter how elections are run in the U.S.
The Supreme Court is seen in Washington, D.C., July 24, 2022.The Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear arguments in a case that experts sayMoore v. Harper focuses on a dispute in North Carolina over redistricting after a voting map created by the Republican-led state legislature was struck down as violating the state constitution and then replaced by court-appointed experts.
At stake, the experts said, are thousands of laws governing everything from voter registration rules to ranked-choice voting systems and even the designation of presidential electors. "No one branch of government should have outsized power in America's system of government, and bucking this long-held tenet of our democracy would undermine people's ability to freely vote and shape the future of our communities and our country in a way that reflects the people's will," Feng said in a statement.
