Abstract

The article discusses the main directions of the latest practice of the US Supreme Court on the issues of suffrage and the process, which is of particular importance during the general elections in the USA held in 2020. The development of the pandemic has had a major impact on the 2020 election campaign and sparked a series of state-level litigation, as well as the US Supreme Court interference in the process. The article analyzes the positions of a divided Court in the framework of the relevant case.
