“It’s Hard to Overstate the Danger of the Voting Case the Supreme Court Just Agreed to Hear,” posted on 6.30.22 by Slate‘s Richard Hasen: “The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Moore v. Harper, an independent state legislature (ISL) theory case from North Carolina. This case has the potential to fundamentally rework the relationship between state legislatures and state courts in protecting voting rights in federal elections. It also could provide the path for election subversion in congressional and presidential elections.”
Cato,org’s Andy Craig, posted on 7.6.22: “Last month the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case next term that could upend election law in the United States. In Moore v. Harper, the court agreed to hear an argument known as the independent state legislature (ISL) theory. This case has the potential to have a wide‐ranging impact and many election law experts are sounding the alarm.”

“While the Supreme Court of the United States has rejected Independent State Legislature theory by majority opinion as recently as 2015, four current Supreme Court justices have voiced interest in adopting some version of the doctrine. At the end of its June 2022 term, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on the question, Moore v. Harper, in the following term.”
