It might be more damning if the states were from both parties; there is a political interpretation in that Google employee spending is known and of the US$ 6.2M that is being spent 88% of it is on Democrats and only 12% on Republicans, so there is both serious money and serious skew there. But that's not terribly decisive, it'd just be nice to see a bipartisan lawsuit for completeness reasons.
There are also some aligned reasons; like things like net neutrality are considered Democratic issues.
More broadly, the problem is essentially that there is this sort of civil-war-producing toxic polarization at play (and it will be at play until we change the laws to have a party-proportional House; it is caused by an abstract mathematical theorem). That the toxic polarization even exists at the state-executive branch of attorneys general is somewhat remarkable and an indication of how close the US is to something disastrous in the next 50 years or so.

Not sure if this is the "theorem" you're referring to, but this happens to be one of the few things that stuck with me from my mandatory political science courses.
