Supreme Court Rejects Transformative Election Theory in Moore v. Harper Ruling.

The Supreme Court rejected the North Carolina GOP argument that state lawmakers should have extraordinary powers over election rules, in a win for voting rights groups. The court ruled that state courts retain the authority to apply state constitutional restraints when legislatures act under the power conferred upon them by the Elections Clause. The decision drew praise from voting rights groups and some prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, who called it a "resounding rejection of the far-right theory that has been peddled by election deniers and extremists seeking to undermine our democracy."
