The US Supreme Court has heard arguments in a case that could determine whether mail-in ballots received after election day can be counted. The case, which has implications for the upcoming midterm elections, centers on the question of whether Congress has the authority to block the practice of counting late-arriving ballots.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case about mail-in ballots and when they can be counted. The central question is whether ballots that arrive after election day can be counted if they're postmarked by election day. Mississippi's Solicitor General defended his state's law, which allows late-arriving ballots. The Republican National Committee and the federal government argued that this practice should be banned. The court's decision is expected in June or July, just before the midterm elections.
