"Election Controversies: The Basics of Election-Related Litigation"
This is a guide intended for Judges, Lawyers, Journalists, and others interested in our Electoral Process and resolutions of election disputes in our courts.
In the past ten years, we have seen a dramatic increase in election-related litigation in the United States. Legal challenges to election results are now a common part of our democratic process. But there is considerable confusion about the law that governs our elections.
The purpose of this resource is to enhance our understanding of the basics of election law and election-related litigation. These materials will be of interest to judges who are called upon to resolve these disputes, as well as lawyers, journalists, and others interested in our electoral process.
