BREAKING: The Board of Elections of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania votes AGAINST certifying its election results. More to come.
@DemocracyDocket I live in PA. This is unacceptable & ludicrous. The GQP attempted to gerrymander the state, got shot down by our SC. And they aren't finished, see Harper vs Moore. So sick & tired of the GQP impugning the election workers who work tirelessly to ensure free & fair elections!
@JeanGarnet61 @DemocracyDocket Harper v Moore seems to be about affirming State Legislature as final say in election law. That is the way it should be according to the Constitution. Is there more to this that you're worried about, or do you disagree with the Constitution?
@War_Hamster1776 @JeanGarnet61 @DemocracyDocket You think, in matters of representation in the federal government, a state’s legislature should have unlimited power unchecked by a state’s own constitution, Supreme Court, governorship, or even existing/former legislation?
@shrike126 @JeanGarnet61 @DemocracyDocket The State Legislature are supposed to be the representative of the People. Who else should decide how the People are represented in Congress?
@War_Hamster1776 @JeanGarnet61 @DemocracyDocket So, for example, if the state passes a state Constitutional amendment that says maps should be drawn by an independent non-partisan committee, and after an election the current state legislature says “Fuck that we’re electing 100% Republicans” you’re saying that should be okay?
@shrike126 @War_Hamster1776 @JeanGarnet61 @DemocracyDocket That’s essentially what the legislature said in Ohio.
