Episode Details

The Supreme Court just sided with states allowing mail-in ballots to be counted if postmarked by Election Day—even if they arrive later. This decision, written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, upholds current rules in over half the states and D.C., sparing election officials last-minute rule changes. It’s a win for Democrats who see it as expanding access, especially for key voting groups, but a setback for Republicans—including Trump—who’ve long claimed mail voting is rife with fraud, despite no evidence. Justice Alito dissented, warning the ruling could erode public trust. The Court made clear: if Congress wants a national standard, it’s their job to set it.
