As the 2020 general election draws closer, court officials in Connecticut say they are standing ready to handle any and all disputes arising over the vote.

The COVID-19 pandemic and President Donald Trump’s rhetoric have led many observers to predict that this year’s election will bring a return to the kind of disputes last seen in the 2000 election in Florida, which was resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore. This year’s widespread use of mail-in ballots and Trump’s repeated expressions of doubt about the election’s legitimacy have prompted predictions that the upcoming vote will create a boom in employment for election lawyers.
