DEVELOPING: Supreme Court to Decide Fate of Mail Ballot Return Deadlines in Landmark Case

Breaking News: Supreme Court to Decide Fate of Mail Ballot Return Deadlines The US Supreme Court has announced it will hear a landmark case that could determine whether states can count postmarked mail ballots received after Election Day. The case, which involves a challenge to Mississippi's five-day mail ballot grace period, is set to be heard by the high court. The Republican National Committee has argued that the state's grace period violates federal law, and an appeals court sided with the RNC in June. The ruling, however, did not take effect immediately, allowing 20 states and territories to continue counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day. Mississippi is one of several states that currently accept and count mail-in ballots received after Election Day, as long as they are postmarked on or before Election Day. The case has significant implications for the upcoming elections, with 16 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Washington, D.C. potentially affected. The Supreme Court's decision is expected to have a major impact on the way elections are conducted in the United States. The court's ruling is likely to be issued in the coming months, but a specific timeline has not been announced. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
