The Supreme Court of the United States is poised to play a significant role in the upcoming 2024 presidential elections. This comes after a series of significant decisions and legal cases throughout this election season. The Supreme Court has already had a say in the 2020 presidential election. In the swing state of Pennsylvania, Republicans had challenged a state court ruling that allowed for a three-day extension for mail ballots, which the Republican Party argued violated the state’s constitution. The Supreme Court refused to intervene, allowing the ballots to be counted. President Trump then appointed three new justices to the court, all of whom leaned conservative. This has created a clear 5-4 conservative advantage on the Supreme Court. This shift in numbers was seen by many as a move that would ensure the court would lean toward conservative opinions during upcoming legal cases. The most recent case the Supreme Court had to decide was on a narrow definition of the Electoral Count Act, or ECA. The ECA, which lays out the rules for challenging state elector votes, had been in place since the election of 1864. In this case, Republican-led states asked the Supreme Court to rule that the ECA should only allow for challenges to elector votes that involve fraud or corruption, thus limiting the ability of members of Congress to challenge vote counts. The Supreme Court ultimately rejected this argument, ruling that the ECA should be interpreted broadly, giving Congress the power to challenge electoral outcomes. The impact of this ruling will be felt most in the 2024 presidential election. Challenges to electoral votes may become more frequent in the future, as states and political parties seek to make claims of fraud and corruption in the voting process. The Supreme Court’s decisions in upcoming cases on electoral voting issues could determine the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. The role of the Supreme Court in shaping the future of this country is more pronounced than ever. With a conservative majority, the justices will have wide sway over the voting process and how legal challenges to voting results will be handled. As such, the Supreme Court appears destined to play a key role in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
