IU experts available to comment on possibility of election cases going to the Supreme Court
November 4, 2020
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- During a speech early this morning, as millions of ballots were still being counted across the nation, President Donald Trump claimed that his campaign will be looking to the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in the presidential election. While his suggestion has been deemed premature, countless election cases have been filed across the country. Notably, the possibility for the court to revisit a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that allowed ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted may be significant if the election hinges on this swing state. IU judicial experts are available to comment on the likelihood that the results will be contested in court and what the implications may be if this happens. For more information, contact Mary Keck at marykeck@iu.edu or 812-856-2148, or Marah Yankey at mqharbis@iu.edu or 812-856-1442.
