Reply to comment by justforthearticles20 in Georgia Supreme Court Allows Early Voting on Saturday, Nov. 26 for Senate Runoff by MarcEElias

That's basically the argument in Moore v Harper. If the ISL theory is accepted by the Court, a state court would have no authority over this matter.

That precedent would allow California and New York and every other Blue state to make every House seat Blue, and Democrats would take the House forever.

Not necessarily. Currently states with entirely blue legislatures make up only 149 House seats. Split legislatures make up another 106 seats leaving 180 seats in red states.

Split states would be required to abide by their actual election results, but are trending Blue, at which point they would be Blue forever.
