Supreme Court Upholds Late Mail-In Ballots | Jackson News

The Supreme Court just sided with voters, ruling that states can count mail-in ballots received after Election Day—as long as they’re postmarked on time. This win protects millions who rely on absentee ballots, especially rural, elderly, and working voters facing mail delays. The decision upholds Mississippi’s five-day grace period law, written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and shuts down efforts to undermine mail voting despite no evidence of fraud. Even though the court upheld the system, Mississippi’s AG still wants to scrap it—hoping lawmakers will force ballots to arrive on Election Day. For now, voters stay protected: late mail doesn’t mean lost votes. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
