Supreme Court to review judges' power to extend polling hours
Original: Supreme Court to consider judges' powers to extend polling hours - but not until after November election
The US Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether judges have the power to extend polling hours, but will hear the matter only after the November election. The timing means the question will not affect voting in the upcoming contest, even as concerns about polling place disruptions and election administration remain prominent. Election officials, courts and voting rights groups are watching closely for how the justices define judicial authority over voting hours in future elections.
Why now: The case touches on election administration and voting rights, making it highly salient ahead of a major US election.
