The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in a case challenging state laws that allow mail-in ballots to be counted after Election Day. The dispute centers on grace periods used by 14 states that range from one day to several weeks for receiving and counting mail ballots.
The case carries significant implications for voting rights and election administration, particularly as mail-in voting has become more prevalent following the 2020 election. The outcome could affect how states handle ballot deadlines in future elections, including upcoming midterms.
