Brett Kavanaugh Has Wild Ideas About Voting

October 27, 2020 · 5:00 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Rick Hasen: “Should we panic about Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion in the Wisconsin voting case that the Supreme Court decided Monday night? Does it mean that the Supreme Court is going to do something crazy that will hand the election to President Trump even if Joe Biden is ahead in the count?”

“The short answer is that an intervention by the Supreme Court to decide the presidential election is still extremely unlikely — but if the extremely unlikely happens, there’s great reason to be worried about the court’s protection of voting rights and the integrity of the vote.”
