BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejects a Republican-led challenge to counting some mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day.
In a 5-4 decision, the Court ruled that states can continue counting ballots received after Election Day if state law allows it and the ballots meet requirements, including being postmarked on time.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice Roberts and the Court's three liberal justices. Justice Samuel Alito dissented, calling the ruling inconsistent with federal election law and "two centuries of historical practice." |
