Andrew Marantz: “Some advocates of the theory interpret a clause of the Constitution to mean that state legislatures can run federal elections almost however they choose—drawing maps for partisan advantage, outlawing forms of voting (such as mail-in ballots) that tend to favor one party, and challenging election results on thin procedural grounds—and that, even when these actions violate state constitutions, state courts would be powerless to stop them.
“It’s hard to overstate how wild it would be if this went the wrong way.”
