Sec. Jacobsen asks SCOTUS to consider appeal of voting laws found unconstitutional

Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen wants the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether the Montana Supreme Court wrongfully struck down two voting laws passed by the 2021 Legislature, saying its request gives the court a chance to weigh in on whether state courts have authority to declare unconstitutional any law passed by a state legislature regarding voting and elections. The filing makes clear Jacobsen is pursuing a version of the “independent state legislature” theory that the high court mostly already dismissed in June 2023. Blair Miller, Daily Montanan.
