Here are the voting lawsuits that could lead to post-election fights over ballots
A number of important voting lawsuits remain unresolved or could still be appealed as Nov. 3 arrives, legal challenges that could lead to post-election fights over which ballots will count in key states.
After an unprecedented year for election litigation, at least a dozen major cases related to voting rules are still pending in key states, including Texas, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Minnesota and Nevada, according to a tally by The Washington Post. Some cases involve preliminary rulings that could be revisited after Election Day. In at least two states — Pennsylvania and Minnesota — election administrators plan to segregate certain ballots in case of later court action.
The lawsuits cover fundamental aspects of voting during the coronavirus pandemic, such as when mail ballots must arrive to be counted, whether ballots cast by alternative means — such as drive-through voting lanes — are valid, and procedures for counting mail ballots.
