Even a broken clock is right twice a day, as the saying goes. The same lopsidedly right-wing Supreme Court that since June 2022 has overturned longtime precedents to eliminate a federal abortion right, gun controls, clean water safeguards and now affirmative action has also, surprisingly, ruled twice lately to bolster voting rights and fair elections.
More shocking still: One of those decisions, the court's Allen vs. Milligan ruling early last month, actually gives Democrats a leg up in recapturing control of the House in the 2024 elections.
You read that right. And that landmark ruling is not the only way in which the court, if inadvertently, has potentially benefited Democrats in next year's elections for the White House and Congress.
