McCain v. Obama in the Supreme Court of the United States: A Hypothetical (One Hopes)

Walter Dellinger, Partner and Chair of the Appellate Practice, O'Melveny & Myers LLP (For respondents Barack Obama, et al.)

This event is a simulated adjudication of the hypothetical Supreme Court case, McCain v. Obama.The case was created by Edward B. Foley, director of The Ohio StateUniversity's Election Law@Moritz, as an experiment to demonstrate howsuch a dispute can be resolved in a non-partisan manner that producesconfidence in both the courts and the election system.

Under the hypothetical facts of McCain v. Obama,severe weather conditions in Colorado led to an extension of pollingplace hours in Denver, but not the rest of the state. The provisionalballots cast during these extended hours, if they are counted, willdetermine the winner of the presidential election - but whethercounting them would violate the U.S. Constitution is the subject of thecourt case.

To ensure bi-partisanship, the chief justice was mutually selected by the other two justices.

This event is sponsored by the Georgetown Law Supreme Court Institute, The Ohio State University Election Law@Moritz and the AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project.
