During Wednesday’s oral argument on Moore v. Harper, Justice Elena Kagan said that the “independent state legislature” theory would have big consequences.
Justice Kagan: “This is a proposal that gets rid of normal checks and balances on the way big governmental decisions are made in this country… And you might think that it gets rid of normal checks and balances at exactly the time when they are needed most.”
If you agree that we need checks and balances in our elections, add your name to our petition. Or chip in $5 to support All on the Line’s work to protect democracy.
We’ve seen unprecedented attempts from anti-democratic extremists to silence voters and secure their own political power. If SCOTUS opens the door for the ISL theory, it will only be easier for them to subvert democracy.
Justice Kagan brought up concerns about legislators enacting restrictions on voting, eliminating voter protections, and obstructing election certifications -- this is why she said implementing the ISL theory would have big consequences.
No matter how SCOTUS decides this case, we know extremists will continue their attacks on free and fair elections. Make a donation to help AOTL hold them accountable.
We know history is on our side. Justice Kagan even referenced the recent SCOTUS decisions that support the past 100 years of legal precedent.
But we also know the fight is not over. Thank you for your support!

 | | | | The clock is racing towards the first special elections of 2023, with critical races already on the books for January. Securing Democratic victories in these elections won’t be easy. Here’s why: - Special elections are historically underfunded and rarely receive the attention they deserve – oftentimes, they’re decided by just a handful of votes.
- And after state Democrats’ historic wins this year, state Republicans will be looking for any power-building opportunities they can find.
- We’ve been outraised by Republicans every quarter this year – so to compete against state Republicans’ outsized spending, we’ll need a tidal wave of support from grassroots Democrats today.
We need grassroots Democrats like you, to help fuel our on-the-ground strategy, hire organizers, build community relationships, and develop a winning platform for our candidates. Can we count on you today? Rush $7 right now to give state Democrats the support they need to secure victories in elections across the country >> | If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
Democratic majorities aren’t built in a day – or even within a single election cycle. They’re the result of long-term organizing, strategic power-building, and targeted investments – even in the “off” season. Securing victories in special elections is a key part of our long-term power-building strategy – these elections could help turn the tide for state Democrats. That’s why it’s vital that we seize these opportunities and throw our full support behind the incredible Democratic candidates in these elections – we can’t afford to leave anything on the table, so we need your help today. Will you chip in $7 today to help Democrats secure victories in special elections and build Democratic power in state legislatures nationwide? Thank you,

| | | | This year, state Democrats notched key victories in ultra-competitive states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota that led to flipping chambers across the nation. Now, FIVE special election battles are on the books for January – and we’re running out of time to ensure our state Democrats have the support they need! Just look at the races happening next month: | Date | State | Seat | | 1/3 | Georgia | HD-7 | | 1/10 | Virginia | HD-35 | | 1/10 | Virginia | SD-7 | | 1/10 | Mississippi | HD-23 | | 1/31 | Pennsylvania | SD-27 |
These races are important opportunities for Democrats – Virginians will be heading back to the polls next November for Election Day, so victories in some of these upcoming special elections could set the tone for 2023 and beyond. But that means we need to mobilize right now, so we can compete against Republican spending in these critical special elections. With just weeks to go before the first special election of 2023, will you rush a donation of $7, $25 or anything you can spare today to help state Democrats WIN in tough races like these across the country? | If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |

As I was catching up on recent news, I was not surprised to see -- Ohio is once again making news concerning democracy in the Buckeye State. Here are a few recent headlines from the Ohio Capital Journal to check out:
We must put a stop to legislators’ anti-democratic tactics to deny voters access to fair democracy. Chip in today so we have the resources to support voters, in places like Ohio, fight for voters’ ability to hold elected officials accountable at the ballot box.
Here are some issues to pay attention to in Ohio’s recent news:
- Lawmakers are threatening to propose a bill that would limit ballot drop boxes to only three days, limit election offices to 88 county boards, shorten the early voting period by a day, and a voter photo ID requirement could be added.
- Lawmakers are hustling through a measure that would make it harder for voters to amend the Ohio Constitution, protecting amendments passed by a gerrymandered legislature.
Sadly, this means lawmakers are imposing barriers to limit voting power of the people. All On The Line is preparing to take action to combat these challenges like these in 2023 and ahead.
Team – this is why we are making a commitment to double down moving forward, championing voting accessibility through democracy reform, and organizing volunteers to protect fair maps. We can’t watch as these corrupt ideals try to manifest as American democracy when we know this is not what our country stands for.
This is why every dollar counts as we begin the next chapter of the fair democracy movement, which includes advocating for voters like Ohioans. Donate right now to help All On The Line put their plan into action.
