Answer

In the event of tie votes by the Supreme Court, the lower court's ruling in the case being considered is upheld without comment. In other words, the Supreme Court issues no permanent decision on the laws involved in the case.

Optionally, the Court may choose to hear reargument on the case, with the addition of the justice or justices who weren't present during the original oral arguments.

Describe what happens when the supreme court justice gather to vote on a case?

When Supreme Court justices gather to vote on a case, they first discuss the case's arguments and the legal principles involved. Each justice then casts their vote, typically in a private conference, where they indicate whether they support affirming or reversing the lower court's decision. The Chief Justice usually announces the results, and if there's a majority opinion, one justice is assigned to write it, while other justices may write concurring or dissenting opinions. This process culminates in the issuance of a formal opinion, which becomes part of the Court's legal precedent.
