Supreme Court OKs late-arriving mailed ballots in loss for Trump
3 liberal justices joined by Barrett and Chief Justice Roberts in 5-4 ruling
The Supreme Court on June 29 said Mississippi can count late-arriving mail-in ballots, handing a defeat to President Donald Trump, who is trying to curtail voting by mail.
The court upheld a state law allowing ballots cast by Election Day to be counted if they’re received within five days.
More than a dozen states have similar laws. Additional states allow late-arriving ballots from military and overseas voters. Voting by mail has decreased since its peak during the COVID-19 pandemic. But nearly 30% of voters still cast a ballot that way in the 2024 elections.
