Supreme Court upholds mail-in ballot grace period

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Supreme Court has upheld a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted if postmarked by Election Day and received within five days. This ruling could protect similar voting laws in other states and may fuel President Trump's criticisms of mail-in voting. The Court's 5-4 decision, with Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissenting, centered on the interpretation of "Election Day" as the point of voter choice rather than ballot receipt. AI
