They will disrupt and stop elections from happening.
Elections are in November
That's the endgame, I guess. What are they planning for January, though...?
@per_sonne @mossyrua the goal - democratic party gerrymandering fails while #GOP #maga gerrymanding prevails for #election2026 + #SCOTUS overturns #VotingRightsAct #military #troops #nationalguard no voting by mail and lowest voter turnout in 21st century....the real question is what will Americans do...#democracy ends?
SCOTUS doesn't have the authority to overturn the VRA, and in fact that is explicitly not what's being requested before the Court right now.
It was discussed during oral arguments, and despite what so many sensational headlines yelled, the movants before the Court specifically said they were NOT putting overturning VRA on the table.
Democracy dies when people fall for false headlines like that...
