Episode Details

The Supreme Court just ruled 5-4 that states can count mail-in ballots arriving after Election Day—so long as they’re postmarked on time. This victory for voting rights groups clears the way for late ballots in 14 states with grace periods, affirming that voters’ choices are made at ballot casting, not receipt. The decision sidesteps constitutional questions, focusing instead on federal-state law balance—and leaves open the possibility of future federal limits. Dissenting justices warned it risks election chaos and undermines Election Day’s finality. For now, voters who mail their ballots on time get a chance to be heard—even if the mail takes its sweet time.
