"I don't think any vote is unlawful. Let me try to address how I think you would reconcile UOCAVA (The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) with the Election Day statutes."
"UOCAVA is not limited to the federal general election. So UOCAVA applies to primary elections, to runoff elections, and special elections, and federal general elections."
"The way I would reconcile the two is to say that all the references in UOCAVA to state deadlines are perfectly fine, not preempted at all, not displaced at all."
Sonia Sotomayor challenged Paul Clement on the legality of restricting mail-in voting, questioning whether George W. Bush's 2000 election victory would stand under current legal arguments. The Republican National Committee is defending a ruling that prohibits accepting mail-in ballots after election day.

Clement argued that the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act applies to various elections, not just general elections, and can coexist with Election Day statutes.
