Supreme Court accepts historic case that could reshape powers of legislatures to set election rules
The, case of Moore vs. Harper, asks the court to uphold the concept – known as the "independent state legislature" theory – that state legislators have the sole and "independent" authority to set rules for federal elections in their states, without interference or oversight by the governor or the state judges.
North Carolina GOP House Speaker Timothy Moore asked the high court to consider the case on appeal of his own state Supreme Court’s decision earlier this year to strike down the theory relating to a gerrymandering case.

This is indeed a crucial case. As I understand it, the Constitution gives state legislatures authority over elections in their states, and I will be interested to see if this court agrees.
