I'm fairly certain this is the endgame goal. Gerrymandering can only get the GOP so far - red states are already badly gerrymandered, there's not a ton of gains there. Populations between states aren't swinging that much to take away electoral votes from red to blue states.

But independent state legislature, now that's got legs. Gerrymandered red states stay red for state legislature, they pick the (no pun intended) "right" electoral college members, boom! No more democrat presidents.
