The case challenging the "independent state legislature" scheme could be tossed as a result of the North Carolina Supreme Court decision. Also: The latest DOJ, death penalty, and LGBTQ news.
The North Carolina decision, while expected, spits in the face of election fairness and is so clearly a partisan decision that probably even the most partisan Republican would have trouble stifling his/her/their smirk when looking at it. And, you can be completely assured that the Supreme Court will do whatever it is to give the most power to the Republicans.
What a depressing time to be alive in this country.

Can we calculate the destruction to democracy done by the Robert’s Court?
