The Supreme Court rejected the Independent State Legislature theory.
It was an unhinged theory, particularly because
(1) the Constitution specifically allows Congress to regulate federal elections.
(2) it allowed the legislature to ignore state Constitutions.

The majority on this court is far right wing with nutso justices, but it has limits. Remember the Court didn't go along with Trump's election fraud nonsense and hand him the election.
