Contenido principal del artículo

Dimitris Liakopoulos

Resumen

This work aims to highlight some positions of a personal and above all critical nature following a recent ruling dating back to 27 June 2023 by the Supreme Court. A fight between federal and state courts is certainly not obvious and the role of judges and the theory of independent state legislature are topics under discussion. What creates interpretation problems for us are the opinions of judges, especially their role in various cases after 2020 in the United States that creates concerns for the future of electoral elections in the United States as well as many doubts in the sector of democracy in the arena of elections for the near future.
