In the lead-up to the 2024 election, hundreds of election-related lawsuits brought across the country present a complex litigation landscape well before all ballots are cast and counted. Many of these cases have clear echoes of the 2020 presidential election, seeking to raise unfounded fears of voter fraud or non-citizen voting, erode confidence in mail-in and absentee voting, or encourage baseless non-certification of eventual election results. Others seek to address legitimate concerns of voter disenfranchisement, needed voting administration fixes, or steps that may need to be taken to advance free and fair voting, counting, and certification of the votes.
