Show Notes
The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a case that could alter mail-in ballot counting in Washington and 13 other states. The dispute centers around a Mississippi law allowing ballots postmarked by election day to arrive up to five business days later and still count. Conservative justices appear skeptical, citing a 1845 federal law setting election day as the deadline for receiving votes. Election officials in Washington are concerned, as a ruling against late ballots could disrupt plans for the August primary. With over a third of voters statewide using mail-in ballots, the outcome could significantly impact turnout and voting procedures.
