"The Supreme Court appears poised to overturn this law, and similar laws in 14 other states and three U.S. territories. If the justices ban the counting of late-arriving ballots, it could mean millions of voters will have their ballots thrown out for this year's midterm elections and beyond."
"The Republican Party argued in a brief to the Supreme Court that since federal law defines Election Day as the Tuesday following the first Monday in November, ballots should not be counted after that day."
Since 2020, California has mailed ballots to registered voters, allowing convenient completion. Ballots postmarked by Election Day can arrive up to seven days late and still be counted. The Supreme Court is considering overturning this law, which could affect similar laws in 14 states and three territories. If late-arriving ballots are banned, millions may have their votes discarded in upcoming elections. The case began in Mississippi, where a law allowing late counts was overturned, with Republican officials advocating for stricter counting rules.
