David Gergen : Supreme Court won't take up election-related litigation before November 5 .

He says it's unlikely the court will take up a case that could affect the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

Gergen says the Pennsylvania Supreme Court declined to get involved in a dispute over the treatment of certain mail-in ballots.

Julian Zelizer : If Trump narrowly loses, he won't be able to prove to a court that noncitizen voting is happening anywhere.

He says the remaining risk on the horizon of Supreme Court involvement in the election could come if local or state officials, or Congress , fail to follow the will of the people when it comes to certifying the results.

Zelizer says if election officials seek to subvert the election outcome, Supreme Court intervention would be welcome.
