Supreme Court Upholds Mail Ballots | San Antonio News

The Supreme Court just delivered a major win for mail-in voting, ruling 5-4 that states can count ballots postmarked on Election Day—even if they arrive a few days later. This shuts down Republican-backed challenges and removes the need for last-minute rule changes before future elections. While some states still limit this to military and overseas voters, the decision reinforces existing practices in over half the states and D.C., ensuring consistency and stability. The ruling also counters baseless fraud claims that have fueled political attacks, upholding proven election procedures. The case originated in Mississippi, where a lower court had struck down a law allowing ballots received within five business days to be counted—now the Supreme Court has affirmed that federal law doesn’t require ballots to be received by Election Day, only postmarked on it.
