Nicholas Rowan of the Washington Examiner highlights key cases the U.S. Supreme Court will address in the weeks ahead.

As the Supreme Court wraps up its spring term, the justices are preparing to weigh in on a series of hot-button issues, including healthcare, voting laws, and college athlete compensation.

It has been a tumultuous year for the court. Just before the justices began hearing cases last fall, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, long the most prominent liberal on the bench, died after a long battle with cancer.

The second is a ban on "ballot harvesting," a practice in which third-party carriers collect absentee ballots and deliver them for counting. ...
