Opinion in McCain v. Obama
Though real-life post-election litigation is likely proceeding in various states, on October 20, the Election Reform Project co-sponsored a hypothetical adjudication of such a case. The special three-judge panel decided in favor of the case’s respondents, ordering the provisional ballots counted. In addition to the judges’ opinion in the case, Ned Foley of Election Law @ Moritz and Chris Elmendorf of the UC Davis School of Law have provided analysis on the decision’s reasoning and what we can learn from it.
