Supreme Court to Rule on Mail-In Ballot Counting and Election Laws
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to decide whether federal law prohibits states from counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day, focusing on Mississippi's procedures and potentially impacting other states' voting laws ahead of the 2026 midterms. The case involves the interpretation of 'Election Day' and whether federal statutes override state rules allowing late ballots, with significant implications for election processes nationwide.
