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.
