Expect Bush v. Kerry, the Chadless Sequel
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/27/politics/campaign/27legal.html?pagewanted=all&position=

In trying to fix problems that arose in the 2000 presidential
election, Congress may have created an impediment to a quick
resolution in 2004 and set the stage for major election lawsuits.
The Help America Vote Act of 2002 allows voters whose names cannot be
found on local rolls to cast provisional ballots, with election
officials making a decision later about whether the vote should count.
Election lawyers now say that those ballots could determine the
outcome in a handful of states where the presidential race is expected
to be extremely close.

MIAMI, Oct. 26 - A federal district judge here
dismissed a lawsuit Tuesday that was filed on behalf of more than
10,000 new voters whose registration forms had been rejected as
incomplete.
The judge, James Lawrence King, said the labor unions that brought the
case had no standing because they had not proved that any of their
members were affected. Judge King also said several other plaintiffs,
people who had turned in incomplete registration forms, could not
blame their local elections supervisors, who were named as defendants.

Usually Low-Key Issue Gets Attention as Rehnquist's Illness Becomes
Public
By Charles Lane, Page A13
It is axiomatic of presidential politics that while many people are
concerned about the future of the Supreme Court, the issue mainly
influences narrow groups of voters at either end of the political
spectrum, and then only by intensifying preferences, Democratic or
Republican, they already have.
