Supreme Court Spares Mail-In Ballot Grace Period | Lawrence News
Description
The Kansas Supreme Court declined to rush a review of a new law eliminating the three-day grace period for mail-in ballots, which now require arrival by 7 p.m. on Election Day to count — a move that’s sparking debate over voting access versus election integrity.
