The election is crucial as the left currently holds a 4-3 advantage, and Crawford's election could further politicize the court, undermining its legitimacy. With a significant portion of the public supporting voter ID laws, critics argue that Crawford's views reflect an activist agenda rather than a commitment to upholding the law.
