It's page 36 in the U.S. reporter, so she finally got something right!

Also, let's not lose sight of the fact that she appears to be endorsing the "Independent State Legislature Theory" in that first sentence you quoted!

Yeah, the citation exists, though I don't think actual volumes have been printed yet.

Of course, as MJS pointed out, it doesn't say anything like what she claims.

Found it using the free (and very helpful) @caseviewerapp.bsky.social.

There are all kinds of subtle and not-so-subtle things they can do (like the recent example of inviting Haley Stevens to a big DSCC fundraiser shindig thing, but not the other #MISen candidates).

But if you're gonna claim the DS outright "supported" these Dems in primaries, show your work!
