Supreme Court hears arguments in case about counting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Watson v. Republican National Committee, a case challenging Mississippi's law that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive up to five days later. The Republican National Committee argues federal law bars this practice, while Mississippi contends Election Day is the deadline for voters to cast ballots, not for states to receive them. Multiple justices expressed skepticism about Mississippi's position during questioning.
