In a close election, here are 3 legal disputes that could reach the Supreme CourtDavid G. Savage | (TNS) Los Angeles TimesWASHINGTON — In a nail-biter election Nov. 5, expect the losing side to challenge the results in court. After former President Donald Trump’s 2020 defeat, his supporters filed numerous of lawsuits nationwide raising questions about ballots, counting and deadlines. Two weeks ago, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court refused to rule on mail-ballot errors, leaving the state’s 67 counties to decide on how to proceed. When the Republicans appealed the three-day extension for counting ballots, the Supreme Court upheld the state decision on a 4-4 tie vote. The Trump campaign could try to revive the issue in a long-shot appeal to the conservative Supreme Court if a few thousand votes are crucial in Nevada.
