The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear the case of Moore v. Harper in October. Moore v. Harper is a North Carolina case regarding the independent state legislature doctrine and gerrymandering. The review was granted on June 30 with the case to be heard in the Supreme Court session this October. "And it would do so at a time when voting rights are under attack, including at the Supreme Court itself." Conservative Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito have all endorsed versions of the legal theory in previous court opinions.
