With an open Supreme Court vacancy Republicans are rushing to fill, Trump’s refusal to commit to a peaceful transition of power, and ongoing battles over voter suppression and mail-in voting even amidst a global pandemic, it is clear that core tenets of our democracy are under attack as Election Day approaches. Federal courts make vital decisions at every step and have already played a critical role in state and federal races this year. Judges could determine how and which ballots are counted, settle disputes about in-person or absentee voting, set registration deadlines, and potentially resolve a disputed election. Join Alliance for Justice, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Dale Ho, ACLU’s Voting Rights Director on Wednesday, October 21 at 6 PM ET to discuss the historic role of the federal judiciary during this unprecedented election. Guy-Uriel Charles, Edward and Ellen Schwarzman Professor of Law, Duke University School of Law, will moderate the conversation. |
