Supreme Court Allows States to Count Mail-In Ballots Received After Election Day
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that states can count mail-in ballots received after Election Day, as long as they are postmarked by or on that day. In a 6-3 decision, the Court upheld Mississippi's law, which the Republican National Committee challenged, stating it does not conflict with federal election laws. This ruling is seen as a setback for President Trump, who has often criticized mail-in voting. The decision allows similar laws in 13 other states to remain in effect ahead of the November elections, where voters will determine control of Congress. Mississippi's law permits counting ballots up to five days post-Election Day if mailed beforehand.
