The tight race for the White House is fueling a wave of election litigation by both Democrats and Republicans as they spar over the ground rules for early voting, mail-in ballots, and voter eligibility.

For a closer look at that and what's to come, we're joined now by election law expert David Becker.

He's the executive director and founder of the Nonpartisan Center for Election

Innovation and Research. Thanks for being with us.

Thanks for having me, Jeff.

So more than 80 million Americans have already voted.

Key swing states like North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan,

experiencing a high volume of mail-in and absentee voting.

Have you spotted any disruptions or regularities,

any problems that could lead to legitimate questions about the integrity of the vote or the vote count?

It's remarkable. As you mentioned, we've seen about 80 million ballots cast already. States like

North Carolina and Georgia are over 4 million ballots cast. That's likely

around 75 to 80 percent of their total turnout already voting. And we've seen hardly any problems at

all. Certainly nothing that would involve voter safety or any kind of conflicts at the polling

places. We're really even not hearing many stories about lines.

Most of the stories about lines occurred on the last day of early voting in some states.

And of course, that always happens. That's just reflecting enthusiasm. And the fact,

people waited until the last minute a little bit, which is always understandable. But it's remarkable

how smoothly voting has gone, how few problems there have been.

And that's particularly so while we're dealing with things like our foreign adversaries spreading

disinformation and the highly divisive environment we're currently in.

It's really remarkable, a testament to our election officials.
