2008 Event

McCain v Obama Simulation

October 20, 2008

McCain v. Obama, a U.S. Supreme Court hypothetical (one hopes)

This case was created as an experiment to demonstrate how these election disputes can be handled in a non-partisan manner that produces confidence in both the courts and election system. On October 20, 2008, Moritz will join with AEI Brookings – Election Reform Project and Georgetown Law – Supreme Court Institute to produce a simulation to showcase how such a court would work on a national level, illustrate why it is necessary, and, act as the stepping stone for potential Congressional legislation. The case will be briefed and argued under U.S. Supreme Court guidelines and an official opinion will be issued.
