Supreme Court Risks Fueling Trump's Attack on Mail Ballots
"President Trump is pursuing a proposed expansion of the SAVE America Act, which aims to add a national ban on 'no excuse' voting by mail, limiting it to those unable to vote in person."
"The U.S. Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments regarding the constitutionality of post-Election Day receipt of mail ballots, a practice allowed by 14 states."
"The argument against counting ballots received after Election Day suggests it undermines the concept of a uniform Election Day, despite the fact that mail-in voting is a legitimate form of participation."
Voting by mail faces renewed scrutiny, particularly from President Trump, who seeks to ban 'no excuse' mail voting. The SAVE America Act proposes new voter-ID requirements and aims to limit mail voting to those unable to vote in person. Concurrently, the U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing the constitutionality of allowing mail ballots postmarked by Election Day, a practice upheld by 14 states. The Republican National Committee challenges Mississippi's five-day grace period for mail ballots, arguing it undermines the uniformity of Election Day, despite the validity of mail-in voting.
