Following the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden, Donald Trump and his allies brought a storm of legal cases challenging the outcome.
After losses in lower courts, some of these cases made their way to the U.S. Supreme Court, whose conservative justices Trump was hoping would ultimately come through for him. They did not, as the court opted not to hear his appeals. The last three of these were rejected four months post election.
For this year's election — with Trump now seeking to regain the presidency as the Republican candidate facing Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris — there may be a sense of deja vu for the top U.S. judicial body. Even before Election Day on Tuesday, a few cases already have reached the justices, one echoing an issue litigated four years ago over Pennsylvania mail-in ballots.
