The Republican legislature then disempowered statewide offices that the GOP could not secure\nvia gerrymandering. Just hours after the state's Election Board rejected Griffin's challenge, for example, the legislature's Republican supermajority passed veto-proof legislation to strip the governor-now a Democrat-of the century-old power to choose Election Board members, and to deprive the state's attorney general-now also a Democrat-from participating in any legal challenges to the legislature's actions.",

The soonest that can happen is in 2028—and the chances of that happening plummet if Justice Riggs's victory is overturned to install Griffin and create a 6-1 right-wing majority. It's not a stretch to say that if Griffin's attempted judicial coup in this case succeeds, it could be the canary in the coal mine for the fate of American democracy\nitself.",
