The Supreme Court is About to Decide the Future of Your Vote

About this episode

Marc Elias discusses upcoming Supreme Court cases that will impact voting rights and election processes in the U.S.

The Supreme Court didn't issue any opinions on major democracy cases this week — but the decisions that will shape our country's future are coming. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the three biggest cases on the docket: RNC v. Watson, which could ban states from counting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day; NRSC v. FEC, a campaign finance case Marc personally argued before the court; and Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case, which has sweeping implications for voter ID.
