US Politics and Elections

Courts, Congress, and the 2020 Election

As Americans made their voices heard in the November 2020 election, the Springer Nature team explores research from across Palgrave and Springer on major issues of importance to our country.

Between a pandemic and a historic racial justice movement, there is no doubt that 2020 has marked a rupture in the business-as-usual of US politics. Topics like universal vote-by-mail and criminal justice reform have become ubiquitous in mainstream political discourse. Rarely have we seen such an intensity of dialogue between the study of politics and the practice of it. In this collection, our authors and series editors reflect on US Politics and political institutions from a diverse range of scholarly perspectives to spark further discussion about the past, present and future of American politics.
