The Supreme Court ruled against the Independent State Legislature theory—what does that mean for future elections?
On Tuesday, the United States Supreme Court ruled against a fringe legal theory that would give state legislatures power to control how federal elections are conducted in their state, without having to answer to their own state’s supreme court. A constitutional law expert walks us through what the ruling means for future federal elections in Wisconsin and throughout the country.
