After a few crazy weeks, there's a lot to unpack in the world of election law. But we already have some helpful links. 1/8
"Could Trump Really Hold On? Why Experts Aren’t Worried." This article came out two weeks ago, but the analysis remains just as true today. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/11/12/election-law-experts-roundup-436139 2/8
What about state legislatures? Per @kewhittington, "Trump’s scheme for state legislatures to overturn the election won’t work" https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/11/20/trump-state-legislatures-election/ 3/8

In sum, it's better when election law is tedious, not exciting. And thankfully, the legal challenges associated with the 2020 elections have gotten tedious. But the next round of federal elections take place in 714 days--and unfortunately we've got a lot to talk about. 8/8
