Jacobs, Lawrence R2021-01-092021-01-092012-04-24https://hdl.handle.net/11299/217698In the wake of the controversial 2000 presidential election — and high-profile close elections like those in 2008 and 2010 in Minnesota — scholars and practitioners alike are examining how states can best handle the challenges of disputed elections. Political considerations often get top billing, but the legal questions presented are often the most difficult to resolve. Add the fact that new technology and procedures are reshaping elections across the country and it becomes clear that the nation needs to think hard — and well in advance — how to resolve disputes about who actually won an election.
