Supreme Court Rules Mail-In Ballots Can Arrive Late | New York City News
Description
The Supreme Court just delivered a major win for mail-in ballot systems, ruling 5-4 that states can count ballots postmarked by Election Day—even if they arrive later—as long as they’re properly postmarked. Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s majority opinion clarified that federal law sets the voting deadline, not the receipt deadline, giving states like Mississippi the green light to count ballots up to five days late. This decision reverses a lower court ruling backed by the RNC and Trump administration, settling years of legal uncertainty ahead of midterms. Over a dozen states with similar laws now have clearer authority to count ballots as long as voters meet the postmark deadline.
