USA Election 2020: Trump vs Biden in a tight race, result might be decided in the Supreme Court?

Donald Trump vs Joe Biden

 

The whole world is now focused on the ongoing vote count in the U.S. Presidential Elections.

This is in the face of close tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden as President of the United States.

For now, Biden is still in the lead where Trump says he is ready to protest in the U.S. Supreme Court in case the result of the election is not in his favor.

Joe Biden expressed his stance that he would watch the results of the Democratic Party at an unfavorable situation, adding strength to the observation that the election results could go to court. 

Biden said that it is still inappropriate to declare acceptance, saying he expects the largest mail-voting result ever. In response, President Donald Trump rebelled heavily on Twitter saying, "The Democrats are trying to steal the election."

This is because President Trump defines the ballot by mail as a "fraudulent vote," and does not try to justify the results.

Currently, the elections are running low, but President Trump's victory is predicted in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where the counts have not yet been completed. In the midst of this, there is a prospect that there is a lot of room for court disputes due to the polarization of voters and the number of votes by mail that recorded the highest ever.

Election law experts believe that if the two candidates win with a slight difference, the results are likely to come out of court.

According to Reuters, Jessica Levinson, professor of election law at the Loyola Law School in Los Angeles (LA), saw that "the state of Pennsylvania and Florida will have a legal dispute.

In general, elections, recounting and validity of voter registration are contested in state courts, but some conservative federal justices, such as Brett Caberno, believe that the constitution does not allow state courts to determine federal election results.

Accordingly, there is great concern that the outcome of this presidential election may also depend on the decision of the Federal Supreme Court. President Donald Trump said in September that "the election will end in the Supreme Court and I think it is very important that we have nine judges."

The Senate, already dominated by the Republican Party, has been prepared for the possibility by hastily passed the approval of the conservative judge Amy Connie Barrett. The ideological topography of the Supreme Court is favorable to the Republican Party with the six conservative progress and three.

President Trump's lawyers are already preparing. According to political media Politico, President Trump prepared thousands of volunteer attorneys and poll watchers to file a lawsuit for fraud on the 4th.

In particular, in the case of Pennsylvania, which is a key competitor, the Federal Supreme Court allows mail ballots to be accepted by the 6th, leaving a lot of room for legal dispute.

Earlier, President Trump criticized Pennsylvania: “We will go on the night of the presidential election, as soon as the election is over. We will go in with the lawyers.” It is ahead of the time, but it is a pretense to go to court without reluctance if the game is overturned as a result of the vote by mail.
