Supreme Court decision could have huge impact on voting
On Dec. 7, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case of Moore v. Harper, the so-called “independent state legislative theory,” which will determine if state legislatures have the power and authority to run federal elections in their states without the checks and balances of oversight by their state courts.
That oversight ensures fairer voting maps and voter rights. Checks and balances are at the cornerstone of democracy. This case has the potential to impact voters nationwide, and Illinois voters should be aware of its possible effects.
While oral arguments for the case are being heard, the League of Women Voters of the United States is holding a rally in Washington, D.C., to draw attention to this case.
Leagues around the country will be doing the same. A local rally, which is open to the public, will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday at the DuPage County Courthouse, located at 505 County Farm Road in Wheaton. It’s being organized by the Leagues of Women Voters of Roselle-Bloomingdale,
