The Supreme Court will hear arguments in a pair of cases in the coming months, which could signi ficantly affect how much candidates coordinate spending with political parties and which mail ballots are counted ahead of next year’s highly contested midterm elections.

The justices have been preparing to hear arguments in the campaign finance law case NRSC v. FEC next month, but opted to add Watson v. Republican National Committee , a case about a mail ballot counting law, to its docket for arguments later this term. The two upcoming cases, both involving the Republican Party, are poised to have a significant impact on the looming midterm elections.
