"In 2022 we saw more community resiliency to election disinformation than in 2020, thanks in large part to massive education efforts to name the problem of disinformation and explain what it looks like." - @JGo4Justice via @HaasJrFund haasjr.org/perspectives/gran…

#MoorevHarper not only has major implications on who has power to draw and challenge congressional maps but also on how federal elections are conducted in the future and the breadth of state legislatures’ power when it comes to setting elections rules.
In Moore v. Harper, the Supreme Court will evaluate independent state legislature theory, which would give full power to partisan majority state legislatures to determine how votes for federal elections are cast and counted. aclu.org/podcast/this-suprem…

The financing of election campaigns, and their results, have been increasingly dominated by a small number of wealthy donors.
But a newly approved ballot measure in Oakland is likely to give everyday people more of a voice in future elections. trib.al/zqQ84VC
