Moore v Harper parties split on whether US Supreme Court should drop case
Parties involved in the high-profile Moore v. Harper redistricting case offered a split decision Thursday on whether the U.S. Supreme Court should dismiss the case. Republican legislative leaders and plaintiffs linked to the left-of-center activist group Common Cause urge the nation’s top court to keep the case and address its major constitutional issues. But two other sets of plaintiffs, N.C. Attorney General Josh Stein’s state Justice Department, and the U.S. solicitor general call on the court to dismiss the case as moot.
