Over a century ago, when the Supreme Court helped usher in Jim Crow, Justice John Marshall Harlan took his colleagues to task for betraying the promise of Reconstruction. Dissenting in *Plessy v. Ferguson*, Harlan insisted that “in view of the Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling... more

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 in favor of a Mississippi law that allows that state to count ballots postmarked by Election Day that arrive within five business days.

A procedural vote on the National Defense Authorization Act failed to pass the House Tuesday, in no small part because the SAVE America Act was attached to it. The lower chamber voted 198–224 to reject the rule, with 14 Republicans joining Democrats to oppose the last-minute addition of Donald Trump’s voter restriction bill to the... more

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) attempted an end-run strategy to pass President Donald Trump's anti-voting-rights SAVE America Act through Congress — only for a contingent of Republicans to block it and deal him a fresh humiliation.

The Supreme Court’s decision yesterday—especially the dissent from four justices—still raises serious concerns about the Court’s fidelity to voters and their rights.

California and other states can continue to count vote-by-mail ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive later, after the Supreme Court on Monday rejected a challenge to a similar law in Mississippi.

Republican National Committee is that three 19th-century federal laws require thousands of lawfully cast ballots to be tossed in the trash — and somehow no one noticed this fact for the better part of two centuries. In a nonpartisan judiciary, the case would have never reached... more
