Moore v. Harper could be one of the most consequential Supreme Court cases for our democracy.

You might just now be hearing about it β€” but it could let extremist state legislatures pick the next president without you.

Oral arguments begin today.

Here's what you need to know:

@rbreich Those of us who are #NCDem have been trying to get this out! Hopefully people are paying attention to how critical this decision is today!

@rbreich State legislatures already can pick their representatives. They don't have to send the ones actually voted for. That's what's wrong with an electoral college.

@rbreich just throw out entire electoral college and go direct popular vote.

@rbreich Abolish the electoral college, create a federal electoral law binding for all states, found a Supreme Electoral Court (SEC) being responsible for the compliance with this federal electoral law, let every citizen vote in person at the polling station using safe and secure electronic voting machines connected to the SEC. For any kind of elections (local, state, federal) the results are available within hours. The possibility of fraud or manipulation is negligible. (see Brasil)

@rbreich There’s no β€œcould be” about it. Whichever way this lands, the fact that it’s before the Supreme Court at all tells a lot about the efforts to overturn democracy. Some days I t’s difficult to not dwell in pessimistic sorrow for our nation.

@rbreich Is there any recourse at present, since SCOTUS isn’t expanded, term limited, unbiased and are have no problem with exploiting their Constitutional duties for the right?
