Mail Ballot Rule Tested at Supreme Court

A suit between the RNC and Mississippi will determine the fate of mail ballot rules in at least 14 states. Declare reports from outside the Supreme Court.

Fourteen states allow mail ballots postmarked by Election Day to count even if they arrive at election facilities a certain number of days late. The Republican National Committee successfully sued one of those states, Mississippi, setting up a dispute in the Supreme Court. Declare was present this week during oral arguments, among a tiny crowd that didn’t reflect the case’s big stakes. Miranda Combs reports.
