Law Matters - Episode 15

LAW MATTERS EPISODE 15: Watch America’s Future LAW MATTERS with attorneys Alicia Kutzer and Bill Olson to stay informed about important legal issues, how our justice system functions, and how court decisions impact our daily lives and society.

In Episode 15, attorneys Kutzer and Olson discuss a case challenging Illinois’ “Ballot Receipt Deadline Statute,” which surreptitiously extends “election day” in the state by allowing state election officials to continue receiving and counting absentee ballots for up to 14 days after the polls officially close, in violation of federal law.

Listen and learn from the attorneys as they cover the issue of standing in a lawsuit and the critical need for the judicial branch to be independent and without fear when deciding cases. They also address free and fair elections and provide perspective on recent elections. The case is Bost v Illinois State Board of Elections with the Supreme Court of the United States.
