Democrats set sights on protecting, adding to Ohio Supreme Court seats

[In It to Win It]

2. I disagree with this take generally.

With Ohio, it might be the right take but in general, I think Dems should put money into state Supreme Court races because they make a difference.

With Ohio, I don't know. Ohio might be too far gone.

However, in North Carolina, it's a 5-2 Republican majority. It is absolutely worth fighting for. One of the 2 Democratic justices is defending her seat this year on the North Carolina Supreme Court. It was a 4-3 Democratic majority three years ago, and that majority actually stopped Republicans attempt at gerrymandering the congressional map (here). To have a chance at getting that majority back, we have to hold on to this one seat that's on the ballot this year. 2028 will be our first opportunity at getting that majority back, and it won't be possible unless we keep the one seat. Maintaining that 5-2 split is worth it.
