With the 2024 U.S. presidential election drawing near, voter access and mail-in ballot issues are at the center of an expanding legal battle in key battleground states. Voter Erika Worobec of Pennsylvania is among those bringing cases to ensure ballots are counted, after discovering her previous ballot had an error.

Democrats aim to make voting easier, which Republicans argue can lead to fraud. Meanwhile, voters like Tyler Engel face challenges accessing polling locations due to physical disabilities, pushing advocacy groups to sue for electronic ballot alternatives. Engel supports these initiatives, driven by accessibility concerns in Wisconsin.

States like Michigan face lawsuits over voter registration procedures at public agencies, while in Montana, tribal members demand nearby registration offices. With parties locked in a tight race, the outcome of these disputes may significantly influence the election process and outcomes.
