Anderson will be one of the most important constitutional cases in U.S. history and the highest-profile election-related case since Bush v. Gore in 2000. The case is on appeal from the Colorado Supreme Court’s 4-to-3 [ruling on December 19, 2023](.

This is the first time in U.S. history that the Supreme Court will consider whether a presidential candidate should be removed from the ballot. The decision may determine the course of this year's presidential election and set a new precedent for U.S. democracy.
