This Monday, just 8 days before Election Day, the Supreme Court took up two pivotal election cases: RNC v Genser (Pennsylvania) and Beals v Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights. These cases spotlight the intense debate over state and federal authority in election oversight and could reshape how elections are managed in the US.
Key Pennsylvania Debate: "Naked ballots" and provisional voting rules, plus new questions raised from last year’s Moore v Harper case on state power over federal elections.
Virginia's Challenge: A voter purge program aimed at non-citizens led to a federal injunction just before the election, testing the limits of the National Voter Registration Act and sparking debates over state responsibility in maintaining accurate voter rolls.
With stakes running high, the outcomes here could influence not only this election but also health policy, from Medicare drug pricing to ACA subsidies.
