Supreme Court May Limit Mail-In Ballot Counting in Midterms

What happened: The Republican National Committee is pushing for the Supreme Court to reject mail-in ballots received after Election Day. Critics warn this could discard thousands of votes, mostly from Democrats.

Why it matters:

  • Could reduce the number of counted mail-in votes in the upcoming midterm elections.
  • May disproportionately affect Democratic voters who often use mail-in voting.

MNN Take: The Supreme Court's decision could change how late-arriving mail ballots are handled, potentially impacting election outcomes and voter access.
