What happened: The US Supreme Court is considering a decision that could require mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day to be counted. This change could lead to many votes being rejected across the country.
Why it matters:
- Potentially hundreds of thousands of votes could be discarded if ballots arrive late.
- Voters in both rural and urban areas may face increased challenges in having their votes counted.
MNN Take: The ruling would tighten the deadline for mail-in ballots, impacting how election officials process votes and how voters plan their submissions.
