Election Litigation Surge Threatens Public Confidence in Democratic Process
The article discusses how election litigation has increased significantly in recent years, with political parties spending more money on legal battles over minor changes in election rules. The case of Brnovich v. DNC highlighted the issue of racially discriminatory intent in election laws, leading to Supreme Court involvement. The decision in this case may limit certain election-law claims in the future, emphasizing that the political process, not federal courts, is the main avenue for addressing election issues. Despite the rise in litigation, public confidence in elections remains uncertain.
