Although Wikipedia is left-leaning, it provides some useful background and links, and has already has a summary of today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_v._Harper
Moore's case is based on the Independent State Legislature (ISL) theory derived from the Article I Election Clause and is argued nicely by David Thompson. ISL solidifies authority of the state legislatures to conduct elections but appears vulnerable to arguments circa gerrymandering and substance vs procedure.
A full written transcript of today's arguments is available at https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/audio/2022/21-1271 . The questions from each justice are interesting and revealing.
Thanks!
