If there ever was an actual 'Stop the Steal moment, this is it. States with Republican supermajorities could use their power to entrench themselves and prevent Democratic victories, even at the presidential level. It is essential to push back against this corrupt interpretation and protect the integrity of our electoral process.

This is the same theory Ginni Thomas was pushing when she was trying to overturn the 2020 election with John Eastman.

If her husband (Justice Clarence Thomas) and four of the other right-wing extremists on the Court agree, Ginni will have won.

The potential consequences of attempting to establish permanent minority rule through the Independent State Legislature Theory could be devastating. If Americans are denied the right to a peaceful resolution to political issues, then violence may become unavoidable.
