SCOTUS Says States Can Count Late-Arriving Mail Ballots
ONP Summary
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court determined that states retain authority to count mail-in ballots provided they were postmarked by Election Day, regardless of arrival date. The ruling preserved a Mississippi law implementing such a grace period and rejected legal challenges mounted by Republicans. Over a dozen U.S. states currently permit late-arriving ballots to be counted under similar provisions.
Progressive: Progressive outlets emphasize voting access and present the decision as rejection of Republican voting restrictions.
Moderate: Centrist outlets report the ruling straightforwardly, noting the Supreme Court's 5-4 rejection of the RNC's legal challenge.
Conservative: Conservative outlets show mixed emphasis—some highlight state sovereignty and federalism principles, others note it as a setback for Trump's voting-restriction agenda.
