California, blue states gang up on North Carolina, fear 'extreme' Supreme Court election law decision
Fox News
Twenty-two Democrat AGs are accusing North Carolina of using a "fringe" and "extreme" legal theory in a Supreme Court case that deals with state court opposition to a redistricting map.
The state's argument is based on the "independent state legislature theory," which says only the legislature has the power to regulate federal elections under the Constitution. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Hillary Clinton argued last week that a decision by the Supreme Court to invalidate the state court ruling would amount to giving state legislatures the "power to overturn presidential elections," a claim that legal experts dismissed. Late last week, the 22 Democrat-led states offered their own dire warnings about what it would mean to rule in favor of North Carolina.
