The Independent State Legislator Theory, Right?
The independent state legislature theory means there is a total lack of oversight of state legislative election schemes. State constitutional bans on gerrymandering could be completely wiped out under the theory.

The bottom line is that state legislatures will have much more power to engage in voter suppression of all types.
