The Elections Clause, Article I, Section 4, Clause of the US Constitution
The Supreme Court is set to be back to work in October and one case that it has agreed to hear has many waiting in anticipation.
The case is to decide if Republican legislators from North Carolina GOP have the authority to draw a partisan election map and not have state judges interfering. “The decision could impact future congressional and presidential elections. The high court will take up the case when its next term begins in October,” the report stated.
“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. 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,” it added.
This could change elections forever.

Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
Known as the Elections Clause, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 provides for Congress and state legislatures to regulate the Times, Places and Manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives.1 Under the Elections Clause, each state establishes how it will hold congressional elections, subject to Congress adopting or altering the state requirements (except as to the place of choosing Senators).2 The Elections Clause’s Times, Places and Manner encompasses a complete code for congressional elections, not only as to times and places, but in relation to notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices, counting of votes, duties of inspectors and canvassers, and making and publication of election returns.3 States and Congress may also establish sanctions for violating election laws4 and procedures for recounts5 and primaries.6 The Elections Clause however, does not permit states or Congress to set voter qualifications for congressional elections, which, under the Constitution, must be the same qualifications necessary to vote for the most numerous branch of the state legislature.7 Likewise, the Elections Clause does not allow states or Congress to change the qualifications to be a Member of the House of Representatives or the Senate, which are stipulated at Article I, Section 2, Clause 2 for the House and Article I, Section 3, Clause 3 for the Senate.8

It seems clear enough that the so-called, ‘independent state legislature theory’ is not a theory but a fact of constitutional law.
It's just the Democrats again trying to eliminate anything that slows them down on their quest to take over the world. In California we had Devin Nunes the biggest thorn in the side Democrats had so they finally managed to gerrymander him out of existence by redrawing his district until it became primarily Democratic rather than Republican. This of course was done with a so-called neutral committee it's amazing how the neutral committees always seem to do what the Democrats need to have done. The thing they do best is cheat.
