WASHINGTON, Oct 3 — The US presidential election of 2000 hinged on a few votes in Florida and was ultimately decided in the Supreme Court.
The neoconservative scholar warned of a “reasonable chance over the next three to four years of incidents of mass violence, a breakdown of federal authority, and the division of the country into warring red and blue enclaves.” “It’s a new phenomenon in American elections,” said Edward Foley, a constitutional law professor at The Ohio State University.
“The United States faces a serious risk that the 2024 presidential election, and other future US elections, will not be conducted fairly, and that the candidates taking office will not reflect the free choices made by eligible voters under previously announced election rules,” Hasen wrote. The strategy involves restrictions such as voter identification laws passed by the legislatures of some Republican-led states which Democrats claim are intended to suppress the minority vote and Republicans say are designed to protect the integrity of the ballot.
