The Republican National Committee (RNC) has secured a spot at the Supreme Court to challenge the legality of counting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, raising concerns about election integrity. The case, which will be heard by the Court, centers on Mississippi’s five-day grace period law that allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if received within five days. The RNC argues that such late ballots violate federal standards and could undermine trust in the vote counting process. The lawsuit, which was previously won by the RNC at the conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, brings the issue to the national stage. The Supreme Court’s decision could set a precedent for how states handle late ballots, with critics warning that postal delays could affect close races. The RNC chairman, Joe Gruters, has emphasized the need for clear election timelines, stating that elections must end on Election Day to maintain public trust. The case underscores the ongoing debate over mail-in voting and its impact on election outcomes.
