MODERATORS
Although the decision will not have a large impact on North Carolina, I’m glad this independent legislature theory is squashed. The idea that the state legislature should have unchecked authority is directly at odds with democratic principles.
It would have been the end of democracy in the USA, effectively. If "independent legislature" had passed, republican states would have never accepted an election result again.
