Supreme Court returns as election disputes loom ahead of presidential vote

The Supreme Court resumes its term on Monday, focusing on new cases while the upcoming presidential election draws attention. The court's conservative majority may face election-related disputes, though it is uncertain if any significant cases will arise before the election. Ongoing lawsuits in swing states, like Pennsylvania and Georgia, could prompt Supreme Court involvement. However, experts suggest that this election may see fewer legal challenges compared to 2020, as states have taken steps to avoid last-minute rule changes. Recently, the court has already addressed some pre-election issues, including ballot access for independent candidates and voter requirements in Arizona. The justices have a limited number of significant cases scheduled, but speculation exists about their readiness for potential election disputes.
