United States Files Letter in Supreme Court Saying that Moore v. Harper Should Be Dismissed as Moot (This is the “Independent State Legislature” Case)

Brief for United States.

Update:

Common Cause takes the position the case is not moot and the Supreme Court can still decide it. It adds: “Although the Court has pending before it another petition for certiorari raising a similar question from Ohio, see Huffman v. Nieman, No. 22-362, it is not clear that the Elections Clause question was preserved in that case, and this Court would need to accelerate its review dramatically to resolve the case in time for maps to be finalized for the 2024 election cycle. Such accelerated review would be regrettable in resolving an issue of this magnitude.”
