WASHINGTON (November 11, 2025) – The Supreme Court shared this week that it will hear Watson v. Republican National Committee. This case could fundamentally change mail-in ballot counting rules in dozens of states and raises questions about the balance of power between states and Congress in administering elections.
Paul Schiff Berman, the Walter S. Cox Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School, can provide expert commentary on what’s at stake legally and institutionally. A former clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Professor Berman is a leading scholar on the interactions among legal systems and federal authority. Berman is frequently called on to contextualize Supreme Court cases.
