Supreme Court Rules on Late Mail-In Ballots | Dallas News
Description
The Supreme Court just sided with states like Mississippi, ruling that mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day can still be counted—even if they arrive a few days later. In a 5-4 decision, Justice Amy Coney Barrett clarified that federal law sets deadlines for voting, not receipt, allowing states flexibility. The Republican National Committee, backed by former President Trump, argued this violates old federal statutes—but the Court disagreed. This decision impacts over a dozen states with similar laws and adds another layer to the Court’s ongoing election-related rulings.
