Election NewsDEFENDING THE REPUBLICMAY 8 May 08, 2023Dear Patriots,We have added a large number of new viewers to this newsletter in recent weeks. Welcome! We hope you gain insight and information from our Mon/Wed/Fri newsletters. We encourage everyone to share these with the like-minded and the unlike-minded!We are currently upgrading our email distribution process.

Sharing an article does not necessarily imply that Defending The Republic endorses all the opinions within the article. We select information from articles but generally do not post the entire article. If you desire more information, the original article is always linked. Thank you for being here. 1- Here we go, breaking the norm right off the bat. We usually select quotes from articles that highlight the major points. This one we present in full as it could be a significant decision in the fight against election control.The Epoch Times Supreme Court Inches Closer to Decision in Major Redistricting CaseThe U.S. Supreme Court is moving closer to deciding if it will issue an opinion in a high-profile case in which Republicans want the court to recognize state legislatures' power to regulate federal elections without interference from state courts, which they say the U.S. Constitution requires.Many legal observers had speculated that the case was dead after a state supreme court overturned the ruling being appealed, but late in the day on May 4, the U.S. Supreme Court indicated it wanted to hear from the opposing litigants and from U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, the Biden's administration top lawyer at the Supreme Court.At issue is the once-obscure independent state legislature doctrine, under which Republicans argue that the Constitution has always directly authorized state legislatures alone to make rules for the conduct of federal elections in their respective states.The case, Moore v. Harper, is currently being deliberated by the justices after a marathon oral argument session on Dec. 7, 2022, which The Epoch Times reported on at the time.Republican Tim Moore, speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, is asking the nation's highest court to recognize that state legislatures have preeminent authority under the Constitution to make the rules for presidential and congressional elections without state courts getting involved in the process.The Elections Clause in Article I of the U.S. Constitution states in part: "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof[.]"Specifically, Moore is appealing an order by the then-Democratic-dominated Supreme Court of North Carolina redrawing the state's electoral map against the wishes of the state's Republican-majority legislature. The state court had found the legislature-approved map unlawfully disfavored Democratic Party voters.Republicans now represent seven of the state's U.S. House districts; Democrats represent the other seven districts. Some political analysts said the legislature's map would allow Republicans to increase their standing in the state's congressional delegation.But while the justices in Washington were deliberating the case, on Feb. 3, the Supreme Court of North Carolina, which now has a Republican majority, decided to rehear the underlying case, known in that forum as Harper v. Hall. At that time, the U.S. Supreme Court also asked lawyers for the parties to file supplemental briefs on how to proceed.The state supreme court reheard Harper v. Hall and then overruled itself on April 28, finding 5-2 that the General Assembly—not judges—have sole authority over the redistricting process. The majority opinion states that there is "no judicially manageable standard by which to adjudicate partisan gerrymandering claims" and that courts "are not intended to meddle in policy matters.""This case is not about partisan politics but rather about realigning the proper roles of the judicial and legislative branches. Today we begin to correct course, returning the judiciary to its designated lane," North Carolina Chief Justice Paul Newby, a Republican, wrote for the court.In a short unsigned order on May 4, the justices asked attorneys for Moore and North Carolina voters who favor allowing the judge-made state electoral map to remain in place "to file supplemental letter briefs addressing the following question: What is the effect on this Court's jurisdiction of the April 28, 2023 order of the North Carolina Supreme Court?"The briefs are due by 2 p.m. on May 11.The U.S. Supreme Court could decide to dismiss Moore v. Harper as moot because the underlying controversy that gave rise to the appeal no longer exists.The court could also move forward with issuing a formal opinion in the case if the justices believe the issues at hand are too important to ignore. 2- God bless Kari Lake who is fighting hard to prove election fraud in Arizona. The AZ Supremes ruled that around 300,000 ballots be checked for missing signatures, forthwith!Conservative Brief AZ Supreme Court Orders Hearing On Kari Lake's Signature Verification CaseQUOTE: The Arizona Supreme Court has ordered proceedings in her case challenging Maricopa County signature verification processes in the 2022 election to take place "forthwith" while also denying defendants' attorneys fees and granting one sanction.Contact: editor@defendingtherepublic.org
