How the US Supreme Court could get involved in the 2024 presidential election

The U.S. Supreme Court, faced with sagging public confidence and a deepening perception its decisions are politically-motivated, could soon play a critical role in how some 2024 presidential ballots are cast and counted and, potentially, how contested election results are certified. "As prepared as anyone can be," said Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the court's junior justice, when asked recently about the flood of election-related lawsuits headed toward the high court. Hundreds of state and federal cases involving disputes over the legitimacy of state voter rolls, access to voting places, and procedures for counting ballots are currently pending.
