The Supreme Court Grapples with Electoral Challenges and Legal Disputes Ahead of 2024.
TL;DR
The US Supreme Court may not resolve the controversial Independent State Legislature (ISL) theory before the 2024 elections, which could lead to chaos. The theory gives state courts little to no role in interpreting election laws set by state legislatures. The future of the key Supreme Court case addressing the theory, Moore v. Harper, is in question because a state-level ruling could make it moot. The lack of a clear decision risks injecting disarray into the 2024 election and the litigation that is guaranteed to accompany it.
