In a Surprising Pro-Voter Decision the U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Mississippi’s Five-Day Mail-In Ballot Grace Period
The U.S. Supreme Court surprisingly upheld Mississippi’s law allowing eligible mail-in ballots to be counted up to five days after election day. The decision protects voters in the 29 states which allow receipt of absentee, mail-in, or overseas UOCAVA ballots after election day, if postmarked on or before that day.
