"California's law permits counting ballots that are postmarked by Election Day and arrive within seven days. However, the Supreme Court is reviewing this law, which could lead to millions of ballots being discarded."
"The Republican Party has consistently argued that ballots should not be counted after Election Day, as defined by federal law, which could significantly impact voter participation in future elections."
Since 2020, California has mailed ballots to registered voters, allowing convenient completion. Ballots postmarked by Election Day can be counted if received within seven days. The Supreme Court is considering a case that could overturn this law, impacting similar laws in 14 states. If the court rules against counting late ballots, millions may have their votes discarded in upcoming elections. The case began in Mississippi, where a law allowing late ballot counting was overturned, reflecting broader Republican opposition to such measures.
