Majority Leader Schumer Statement On Supreme Court Decision In Moore v. Harper

New York, NY – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement on the Supreme Court decision in Moore v. Harper to reject the “independent state legislature theory” and respect our constitutional system of checks and balances. Below is Senator Schumer’s statement:

“Today those who support democracy, fair elections and the rule of law can stand a bit taller. Today’s ruling reaffirms the longstanding precedent that respects our constitutional system of checks and balances. There is still much work to do to protect American democracy. As John Lewis said, ‘Democracy is not a state. It is an act,’ which is why Senate Democrats will continue to fight for free and fair elections.”
