How does the US Supreme Court conduct a vote?
On a regular basis the justices meet in a special conference room by themselves. They discuss cases with each justice having an opportunity to give his opinion why the case should be decided one way or another. At the end of the discussion a voice vote is taken and the determination whether the lower court decision is affirmed or reversed is decided then and there. If the Chief Justice is in the majority, he decides whether he will write the court's opinion or have one of the associate justices of the majority write it. If the Chief Justice is not in the majority, then the senior associate justice within the majority decides whether he or she will write the court opinion or delegate the writing to one of the other associate justices in the majority.
