The notion of this special master panel draws on a 2008 experiment conducted by Georgetown University, Ohio State University and the AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project. They held a mock trial of a hypothetical McCain v. Obama lawsuit, to test whether a deliberately neutral tribunal might enable the nonpartisan resolution of a disputed presidential election.
