The Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday for a case challenging which branches of state government have regulatory authority over elections.North Carolina Republican legislature constructed a new electoral district map that the North Carolina Supreme Court struck down, believing it to be gerrymandered and biased against democratic voters. The legislators are challenging this decision before the United States Supreme Court.
The theory stems from an interpretation of Article I, Section 4 of the United States Constitution, which states that “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
