Fact check: Are there any other states with open cases related to the 2024 presidential election?

Checked on August 1, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, yes, there are multiple states with open cases related to the 2024 presidential election. The evidence shows:

  • New York has an active lawsuit in Rockland County questioning the accuracy of the 2024 Presidential and Senate election results [1] [2] [3]
  • Colorado has an open case where the Justice Department is demanding election data [4]
  • The Justice Department intends to contact all 50 states about their compliance with federal voting law, implying that multiple states may have open cases related to the 2024 presidential election [5]
  • Democratic state attorneys general are seeking to block President Trump's proposal for a sweeping overhaul of U.S. elections, which may be related to open cases in various states [6]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important context about the scope and nature of these election-related cases:

  • The analyses reveal that cases range from local county-level lawsuits questioning election accuracy [1] to federal Justice Department investigations demanding compliance data from states [4] [5]
  • There's a distinction between offensive legal actions (like the Rockland County lawsuit challenging results) and defensive legal actions (like state attorneys general blocking federal election overhaul proposals) [6]
  • The Trump administration's Justice Department appears to be taking a proactive approach by planning to contact all 50 states, suggesting a systematic federal review of election systems [5]

Beneficiaries of different narratives:

  • Election integrity advocates benefit from highlighting ongoing cases as evidence of necessary oversight
  • Federal authorities benefit from demonstrating active enforcement of voting laws
  • State officials benefit from being seen as defending their election processes against federal overreach

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself appears neutral and factual in its phrasing. However, it may inadvertently:

  • Underestimate the scope of election-related legal activity by asking only about "other states" when the analyses show a nationwide federal initiative involving all 50 states [5]
  • Lack specificity about what constitutes an "open case" - the analyses reveal cases range from local lawsuits to federal compliance reviews to constitutional challenges [1] [4] [6]
  • Miss the coordinated nature of federal election oversight, as the Justice Department's plan to contact all states suggests a systematic approach rather than isolated state-by-state issues [5]

The question's framing could benefit from acknowledging that election-related legal activity appears to be widespread and multi-layered rather than limited to a few isolated cases.
