  • Moore v. Harper

    The Election Law Journal publishes cutting-edge research on a broad range of topics concerning election law and election administration, including several articles that provide important context for the Moore v. Harper case. What has election litigation concerning the 2020 election looked like (see Hasen, 2022)? How is public opinion on election law polarized and how does this influence confidence in elections (Hood and McKee, 2022)? How can we restore trust in the voting process (Canon, et al., 2021)? And the comparative context of the American states (Garnett, 2020) and other democracies (Haque and Carroll, 2020; Judge and Korhani, 2020) provides insight into how various governments are addressing concerns about election integrity in the context of online election administration and information.
