The Supreme Court delayed the country's transition to authoritarianism for a while longer by backing away from the independent state legislature theory. By a 6-3 vote, the justices ruled that state legislatures are subject to their individual constitutions and the judicial oversight of state courts.
That means GOP controlled state legislatures cannot nullify the will of voters if the legislature doesn't like the results of an election. But don't worry, the right wing policy machine will come up with another dodge to cancel the votes of people they don't like and they will find allies in red states. Democracy ain't easy.
