On December 7, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Moore v. Harper. At the center of this case is the “independent state legislature" theory — a claim that state legislators have nearly unchecked power over federal elections. If SCOTUS adopts this baseless theory, state legislators could upend federal elections. More than 170 state constitutional provisions, 650 state laws, thousands of rules and regulations, and hundreds of state court decisions would be thrown into question. Ask us anything about Moore v. Harper and the independent state legislature theory.
