[EL] op-ed/ Don’t Bet on Congress or the Supreme Court to Decide this Presidential Election

[Schultz, David A.]

Some thoughts on the presidential election if possible challenges emerge.

Here is my opening paragraph and a link to the piece.

Don’t Bet on Congress or the Supreme Court to Decide this Presidential
Election

With luck the US presidential election results will be decisive on November
8.  There will be a clear winner and no election disputes will emerge.  Yet
as the polls tighten nationally and in critical swing states there are
possibilities of a contested election. Were that to happen, one cannot
count on either Congress or the Supreme Court to resolve the matter.  It is
entirely possible that the political polarization that has divided the
United States might set the country up for a post-election battle that
might make Florida 2000 and Bush v Gore pale by comparison.
