The Court made an unconstitutional decision. The Constitution guarantees the States a Republican form of government.
Article IV: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.”
Electing representatives to cast your vote IS a constitutional republic madam.
Apparently you don’t know what a “Republic” is. Unfortunate but not unusual.
